First post on here you guys , I live in Burton Ohio, 30 miles east of Cleveland . I have been in to cars since I can remember . First car was a 66 mustang convertible with a 289 got it when I was 15 . Graduated out of high school with an orange 69 roadrunner 383 auto. Oldest cars I have had included a black 38 chevy 2 door sedan driver and a red 38 coupe with a nova front end and a 327 with a 4 speed . After high school worked my way up from an auto parts delivery boy to a store manager in the 80's . then was an automotive warehouse salesman till I bought a 78 one ton chevy dump truck and started a landscape supply and maintenance business , Which is what I'm doing presently & for the duration... Right now I have a 56 chevy 2 door post belair I picked up last July and am going thru it as bucks allow..plans include 15x4 and 15x10 cragars ss rims . It has a 12 bolt 72 chevelle rearend in it , am going to do a tunnel ram intake 292 comp cam , fenderwell headers and a 4 speed. I picked up a set of 65 goat buckets for it at a fall swap meet and they have the look I'm going after . I'm looking for about a 14'' metalflake steering wheel and It's getting all new gl*** soon...plans are to keep it in primer and drive the heck out of it this summer....Sorry if this is too long and boring but I thought I let you guys know what I'm about & hope I'll fit in around here......pete
