Well here goes, was raised by my grandparents and my great grand father was a mechanic starting back in the 1930's as is my grand father. Cars run through my blood. Im on the youngish side but Im into old school, wheels, style, cars, dragsters, hotrods, paint. Basically everything from 1950-1974. I dont like big wheels, flashy paint or cut up interiors. I like big blocks and Hemi's. Im a Mopar guy thru and thru but I know quit a bit about GM as well. I am also a former ASE automotive tech, was injured a few years back and havent been able to work since so I get to spend a lot of time at home looking up the wonderful stuff you guys have posted. I know more about this stuff and time frame then anyone I know of my age but not even a tenth of a percent of what you guys know. So Im here to learn, listen and dream big lol. My car is a 1969 Chevelle Malibu from California, was originally a L48 350/300HP 2speed powerglide. I bought it for my grand father and I to work on. From what Ive gathered it was drag raced for many years, which neither the 350 or tranny or rear end survived but the body/frame did. I replaced the engine with a 454 and some goodies such as roller cam, Dart heads, TH350. It lives with me here in Texas and is never going back to Cali lol. Im hoping to save up enough money to purchase a 1963-64 Savoy/Fury/Belvedere or a 65 Coronet, or a 68 Charger/Roadrunner. If I get the latter they will be stock dailies, if the first then thinking of possibly making it into a clone factory lightweight 413/426 wedge.
That is a Nice Intro, and it is appreciated.........Thanks! Welcome to the H.A.M.B..................From Arkansas City, KS. firstnomad www.angelfire.com/jazz/flatlandstudio
