Thread: Love the site, glad I found it

Tweet

Hi all,

I sure am glad I found the site and I look forward to learning a lot here. I am 31 years old and I have 2 hotrods. The first is a 1955 Chevy Cameo pickup that I bought when I was 14 for $400.00 I spent the next 4 years restoring it and finished it just in time to drive it to my highschool graduation in '91. I have had a lot of fun in that truck over the years and I sure am proud to be the owner. I'll never get rid of it because I refuse to be one of those guys who says, "You know, I used to own one just like that..." My second hotrod, a 1968 Firebird, I just picked up fairly recently, just over a year ago in fact. It too is in need of a restoration and that process is underway. I had wanted one for the last 10-12 years and swore that someday I would own one. My dad finally made me live up to my promise when he called right after the new year in 2003 saying that he had found a screaming deal on one in NV if I was interested. At that time we were getting ready to replace the kitchen floor in the house, and all I can say is, I have a wonderful and very understanding wife. Just this February, I took the Firebird on it's maiden (well for me anyway) voyage. It's going to be a lot of fun too. Well, that's probably enough about me. I look forward to chatting with you all and learning a lot too.

Welcome
Got pics. of the projects?

Here's a pic that was taken of the firebird right after I bought it. I'll have to hunt around to see if I have any digital pics of the Cameo.

Here is the only pic I could find of my Cameo without scanning a new one into the computer. It was taken about 10 years ago. But essentially it looks the same to day as it did then.

Welcome to CHR, couple of neat projects you got there. Hope you enjoy your stay.
