    Hi

    The Car:

    1951 Chevrolet Styleline 4D "green is the color"
    Stock framerails / stock body / near stock interior
    No body modifications planned / steel wheels to go

    Ford 300 six EFI / turbo
    JW Ultra Bell mated TH-350 w/manual vb + stuff
    SVO alu driveshaft
    Ford 9" 3.00 gears Detroit Locker race 31-spl
    Chassis Engineering Mustang II front suspension
    Chassis Engineering Leaf Spring Kit in the back
    11" disc brakes all around (rear: "Explorer conversion)

    The Dude:

    I'm 36, married, used to work with computers for the past 9 years, no kids, one Fink-lookalike 17 year old cat, one lazy dog, I'm kinda fat & lazy myself. Also gettin' bald and can't figure out the tuning stuff and plastic car parts.

    Usually hang out at http://www.fordsix.com and a couple of other places.

    The GeoStats:

    Finland.

    Like most everyone on this planet I value and appreciate HAMB greatly. I don't think that I can be much of a contributor, unless someone wants to do a psychological study on people who have an urge to do things oddball.

    I strongly suck with my metal fabrication skills. I'm glad to have at least some friends who can shape metal.

    Spent the years '85-'86 in Carlisle, PA due to family involvement in U.S. Army War College. Our house was appr. 1/4 mile from the Fairgrounds. Lucky me ? You bet - I went to every Carlisle event back then.

    I've tried drag racing too, it was fun, but - - kinda too time consuming in relation to actually having some behind-the-wheel time. We had a nice engine, however, and there's a picture of that at http://www.majorvacuumleak.com where I'll be posting some pics about the '51 as it progresses.

    Best wishes,
    Muki
