    Hello, 2024 and Hello, HAMB. New member here, but have been on www.garagejournal.com for a decade or more. Here are pics of a couple of my cars -
    First up, 1940 Chev business coupe. Bought this one at Barrett-Jackson a couple of years ago. Former Goodguys America's Most Beautiful Street Rod (2012)

    This Woodie I found in 2021 in a Hemmings auction email -

    The Woodie has a C4 vintage LT4 with a TKO 6-speed, Vintage Air, 4-wheel disc brakes, Fatman front rack & pinion.

  2. welcome Like the 40 but I am biased.
     
  3. Welcome. Just a word of advice, modern technology ( IFS, IRS, etc) is a no no around here. However, you’re going to find all kinds of people and information that will help as time goes on.

    Love the woodie, welcome to the Hamb, don't get offended if the photo of the 40 disappears, street rods are off topic. HRP

    the giant billet wheels and modern drivetrains are totally off topic here, you can find the rules for the site here, this is a traditional (65 and older build styles) hot rod forum and NOT a street rod site . (yes there is a difference.) thank you

    LT4 is vintage now, I understand the impact of mid-life crisis now. I’m officially old.
