Signed up yesterday

Hello, I signed up yesterday, was going to post, but my Internet hookup messed up on me.
I've seen this site a few time, and have seen referrences to it from a fey guys that are also members of the Stovebolt Page (I'm a member there, too, along with Stacey David's Gears). I've always had an interest in cars/trucks of any kind-stock or modified.
I work professionally as a brake and alignment mechanic, and am an ASE certified master mechanic in automotive.
I know this site is more for traditional rods, but here's a pic of my ride http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2556194070092261295LXjVTH

Thanx for the compliment. I can tell you, it's a runner. It's got a 235, .060" over, milled head, Howard 3/4 race cam (solid lifter), Fenton/Offy manifolds w/dual Holley 1904s and 3 speed w/od.
Unfortunatly, it's on the injured list right now. I tagged a VW Jetta back in December. Still trying to hunt a few oddball parts for it. Gonna hit the salvage yards when/if the wheather clears up.

 

Try here on the Wanted Section someone might have the parts right next door to you, Give it a whirl. I like the old school approach. My bubby in the service built 303 gmc six's in California he said they went. I said what?
He said they beat some V8's Good Luck on the hunt. Rich
