    Cool Old rodder new to this site

     



    Hi im Jim from Coshocton, Ohio. Had many rods over the years and just getting back into it again. Currently working on a 1980 El Camino. Was going to restore it but after doing a tear down decided it wasnt a good candidate for full restoration!
    So pulled it apart took it down to bare metal and re-painted it. I have a 350 ci small block in it,.bored .060, balanced big Mellings hyd camshaft stamped steel roller tip rockers,Wiand X-celerator manifold,edelbrock avs carb,2.02 heads w/stainless valves,headers,turbo 400/3000 stall converter.
    just fired it for the first time and now getting it dialed in. Im looking forward to meeting some other gearheads like myself.

    I own and operate a shop, do body and paint,engine swaps,welding and fabrication, classic car restoration and dabble in rods.



    Thanks guys
    Jim

    Jim, welcome to CHR! With experience like yours you should be an asset to the forum. Pictures of the Elky would be good. Jump in when the mood strikes you.
