    Greetings,

    I've managed to **** into a couple of threads so far without an intro, mea culpa :)

    I'm in the middle of an old Land Rover re-power project (TBI 350) right now, but I'm thinking that she'll need something to tow when completed, so I'll hang out here for a while in my spare time - yeah, right.

    Hot Rods? A buddy and I built a '36 Chev p/u in high school / college. We intended to restore it, but found a freeze cracked block, bad trans, etc .... and heck, we had an entire 4-door '56 Chev behind the barn ... naturally, the 283 and the '56 rear end found their way under the '36 .. what the hell did we know :)

    It was fun and we ended up trading it for a '70 Duster race car that never had a ***le or a VIN ... it got a SBC with a 6-71... and a license plate... and was actually a Car Craft cover car once ... crazy.

    Anyway, here I am, See you at the "bar" later.

    Keith
