    Hey guys. Just wanted to post a quick introduction. I was referred to this site by a member while I was asking car questions on another site. He said this is a good site with a lot of good info.

    I was into muslce cars in my teenage years, and then became heavily involved with motorcycles, which has held my interest since. I've built a few bikes and make many of my own parts. My interest has been swinging back towards cars again, and I picked up a couple projects.

    My current project is a '52 Chevy Styline Special Sport Coupe. My plans for it are a Mustang II front suspension, 350 engine (Boring, I know), T10 4 speed, and 9" rear. I also plan to chop, shave, nose, and deck the car. I've been learning a lot, but have a lot more to learn. Hope you guys don't mind answering some questions.

    Didn't think so. A '40 Merc is THE car of cars, as far as I'm concerned. Good luck with it.

    Didn't know the Soda Jerk thing was still going this late in the year. Maybe I'll make it over there. Were you there in August? I was checking out a traditional roadster that rolled in. Wondering if it was you.

    Hey Zach, it was very cool to meet you. I dig your car, and your friend's truck is cool too.

    We had to leave, so didn't get to talk to you before we left. Keep in touch.
