    Might as well join, I'm on here every day! Have been
    collecting pics of 'A' Coupes from the board. Built a
    31 in the late 60's, and got the itch to do another one.
    Built several 'fat' fenders, and several muscle cars.
    Current ride is a 66Nova sedan.
    Be talking to ya! Rich

    Thank's for the welcome WHEELSPINNER! I like
    your style in Coupes, and that Camaro sounds
    healthy.
    Here's an old pic of the 'A' that is long gone, had
    a lot of fun with that car. Made several SRNats with it.

    Welcome from La Porte. Your shop looks awesome! Glad to see another Indiana HAMB'er. And Scotty T, by valpo cruise nights, do you mean the hang out on fridays at Target's parking lot?? What ever happened to that? I went for a while, then I heard they shut it down because of somebody doing a burnout.

    Thank's, I have several friends from LaPorte. You
    guy's get to much lake effect snow though!! LOL
    Made the Target scene, but some 'tuner' guy's
    got a little crazy there so they shut it down. They
    supposedly moved to the other side of town, but
    it didn't do well there.
    Take care, Rich
