    I just signed up and think this is an awesome site to be able to connect with people who are into the same thing's I'm in to. I am currently building a 1969 prostreet chevelle, but I am currently looking to buy a 1949-50 mercury. I recently started to really like 20's-50's cars (especially lead sleds). In Nebraska their are two salvage yard about a mile apart they each have 4000-5000 cars each they are each 40 acres. One is dedicated to cars from the 20's -70's all makes and the other is dedicated to mostly muscle cars especially chevelles but has lots of others cars from 50's on up. That is kind of my inspiration for me getting into early cars. Well that's my intro and just wanted to say hello to all my fellow gear heads.
