28 years old. Thanks to my grandpa and other family, I grew up around cl***ic Chevy's. I owned a couple '72 Chevy trucks and a '66 Ford truck as a teenager. They were cheap and I could learn how to work on them. I'm a musician, and after 10 years of dedicating my life to chasing rockstar dreams I have given that up and I am currently building my first ground up custom. It's a '51 Chevy truck on an S10 ch***is w/ a Ford 9" rear. I'm spending the summer in my grandpa's shop and by fall I hope to be on the road. I basically stumbled across this board while searching for 'anything hot rod'. I've already learned a few things from reading old threads. I know a little, but I'm here to learn.......Thanks btw... I know how to use a search engine. I'll do my best to not dig up old topics unless I have a question someone else may not have covered...
