Hey guys. I'm Will. I'm going to turn 17 on thursday of next week, 8th of Oct. I live in Northern NC, really Virginia. Anyways, I love classic cars, my dad had a 69 Chevelle and Nova back in the day and I suppose that's whats made me like them so much. I've got a 1978 El Camino as my Senior Project in school. Its got a 350 that's been bored and stroked. I'm currently saving to get another cam and hydralic lifters and roller rockers and Keith Black Sil-o-lite pistons. I'm planning on painting it before I leave for Nashville Auto Diesel College in June. I also have a 1984 Monte Carlo SS. It was given to me for my 16th birthday. I'm building a 305 for it. The heads have been shaved, ported, and polished. I got a 270 duration Comp Cam for it, new timing gear and a rebalanced crank. I may get a new set of pistons one day, but not today. As you can tell I like fast cars or at least ones that can sound good and perform. As i put I'm going to Nashville Auto Diesel College in June to study Diesel Technology and High Performance engine building, I may take another year of collision repair and fabrication. I actually graduate from High School in January, I think the spring semester I'm going to take a machining class at the community college. I want to one day open up my open shop for building race engines and restoring/modifing cars.
Welcome to the HAMB from Hank in Pennsylvania. Never let go of that goal to open your own shop one day.
