    FNG from N.E. Florida

     



    Hello to all. I've been a member and visited a while before posting. I'm in Jax Florida, belong to a few other forums and know a few guys over here. I do my own work and drive'em every chance I get. I have a 1962 Chevy II and a 32 three window hi-boy coupe that I terrorize the neighbors with!

    Welcome to CHR so far I haven't heard the FNG for new members here. We just become new members. I can see the neighbors taken notice when they hear those really nice cars coming home.

    Thanks John! I wanted to go to a place with some fresh ideas for a while. Besides, the Rev has taken over nearly every thread!

    This is the place to find em! No bickering either. Lots of down to earth folks over here, and you can ask anything without being flamed, unlike our other hangout.

    It's a narrowed axle out of a "65" Chevy van. One of a kind you might say, I did it back around 1977-78 as I recall, it's been a lot of years.

    Nice cars! I love the gasser look. It reminds of many Sunday afternoons at Indy Raceway Park in the mid - late 60's. Did you build a new subframe for the nova or were you able to attach the spring perches to the existing unibody? I'd like to do one like that...

    The leaf springs are attached to the unibody.
