    Hello to All

    My Name is Greg, I've lived in Oregon all my life...I'm Old enough to know better, but young enough to still get "talked into it".

    I was born into hot rods, as My pops had a 56 bel-air, ,62 impala ss, 67 camaro and ended with a 72 Nova, which i cried when he sold...

    Obviously a born into chevys guy, I am carrying on. I currently have a 1960 Sedan Delivery which I've owned since i was 21...a driver getting ready for teardown. Currently a cl***ic Lowrider, with big plans, will keep ya posted... and a 1931 Coach, also a driver, that is Original except paint...Am hunting another coach body of same year (29-31) with plans for a radical chop...have all big components except body...So if ya know...

    I also Got a 1965 Dodge Towne Wagon...Just cause its cool as He!!...
    It (Ironically) has been the most dependable rig I've ever owned...So much that i Sold it And bought it back 2 yrs Later...have owned this bad boy since 98...and in that time I've only had to replace the Clutch, Fuel pump, and shift linkage, oh and one taillight lens. It is looking forward to a subtle facelift this spring as it will be(hopefully) pushing the S.O.L.S.' (Southern Oregon Lakester Society)
    belly tanker off the line at Bonneville this year for Speedweek...fingers crossed.

    Got a Sweet 68 Baja too...any Bugheads?...I'll Save it for S.A.M.B.A.

    Have an Affliction for MC's as well...But that's a whole other story too.

    Not really true to any 'Style' as they all can be overdone...I enjoy the art of the build in anything...done tastefully.

    Anyhoo am looking forward to the opportunity of Expanding my "Think Tank" Globally...

    Have a Safe and Happy New Year.
    Greg

    Hey all thanks for the welcomes...

    MOE's rocks, best chowder on the coast

    Trent plan your trip for July if possible...Graffiti Weekend, pretty cool. Whole town inundated with old iron from up and Down West Coast...Cruises, poker runs, show and shines, down home style...Great time.

    thanks again.

  9. Hi Greg.

    Welcome to the HAMB. You are going to like it here, lots of great info, people and cars. I was talking with a friend of mine today from Roseburg and he was telling me about a Belly Tank that was being built there, I am sure it must be the one that you hope to be pushing.

    I look forward to seeing some progress on the tank. Next time I am down that way maybe we can check it out.
