Hello

I'm Dave (19) from West Virginia. I figured i'd stop by and say hi and tell you all a few words about myself and my cars before I posted anywhere else... Dad got me into classics and hotrods when I was about 7, and i'v been working on them since.

I drive a 52 Pontiac daily - been working on it about a year and a half now and slowly restoring this one (my first one by myself). It's come a long ways, I have pictures of it on my website listed in my signature, but here's another shot of it:



I'm also getting ready to start on a 1951 Pontiac Chieftain. My 52 is more original, but I plan to street rod the 51. I also have a 1950 Ford Tudor that i'm moreless building for my dad since I gave him the car.



I don't have any pictures of the 50 Tudor right now. It's under the canopy beside the 51 Pontiac and it's hard to get a descent picture of it.




Dave

welcome, nice ride. I'll be in Beckley wv. this weekend.

I'm about 15 miles from Beckley. The first picture which is of my 52 was taken at the Shade Tree Car Club show at Rally's in Beckley. Do you ever go to any of those shows? There's a big one in Beckley July 21,22,23 show/swap meet.

Dave, your cars bring back fond memories! My first really presentable ride was a '51 Chieftain Club Coupe. Metallic gray with sun visor, six with standard.

I loved that car.

Welcome! You'll find a lot of knowledgable and very helpful people here.

Jim
