Hey all- been lurkin for awhile, thought it was time to jump into the fray. I'm a young'un, not old enough to remember the good ol daze, but I am diggin' the vibe here. My junkpile currently consists of a 65 GTO (455/th400/9-inch; a respectable 12-second streeter), and a 63F100 stepside, (Offy tri-carbed 223 6-banger/three on the tree) old-timey (rusty) beater/hotrod/shop truck. My aspiration is to find and/or clone my high school 47 chebbie coupe, (and do it right this time)- and you'd better believe it'll have a wicked inliner. I work for a local Rod and Custom shop here in southeastern PA, (more on that later- when the website is done I'll post a link) we lean heavily towards traditional rods, and we are a So-Cal affiliate, so I have some insight into the "Big Business/versus/ Mom-and-Pop" arguement which springs up here from time to time. Lookin forward to makin some friends here, (and possibly some enemies-LOL.) Really enjoy the "hotrod stories" , "dumb things non-car people say", and "cute dune buggy"-type posts- remember this is supposed to be fun, even if (and especially if) the general public doesnt get it. Later- sneakypete
Hey Pete, glad to see you made it on. So that '58 Chebbie truck is yours?(on the side of Hudson's) Been slowly working on the website, Its best probably to have direct input from you and Steve just in case I stray to far from the idea Lots a good stuff here to browse through and check out. Check out Goodmans' cross country drive from Cali to Fla. Man that is a bad car. Thats what I was trying to explain to you the other night at the shop. I know we disagree on styles but I think Goodmans rod is really sweet. Glad to see ya. Fryguy
