New Guy from Western New York
Hi everyone I am new to this forum here is a bit about myself. I have been into hot rods and muscle cars my whole life. My current rides are my 62 Chevy Belair 2 door sedan with a 409 that I have owned for 15 years and 29 ford roadster hot rod project. I am a product designer by trade currently looking for a new job as my old employer of 20 years moved the operation to Mexico
. I have been making custom sand cast hot rod parts for a while now and am focusing on that talent/business while I look for work.

Welcome from down under, New Zealand, and as Nathan said, we love photo's of cars and projects. Hope the job hunt goes well and you find employment doing what you love. You must have a heap of creative juices running through your veins to do that job.I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

Welcome aboard.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Love the BelAire, and that 409 looks soooooo sweet sitting in there, pristine and clean. Looks like stepping into the "Way Back Machine" set for 1962!
The '29 is super cool, too, with some nice features. One comment - on your cowl steering arm are those six button heads holding the arm to the shaft stainless? If they are you might want to consider swapping them out for some Grade 8's, chromed if you want the shine. The minimum yield on a Grade 8 is ~130,000psi, and for SS is 20,000psi min, typically ~65,000psi or about 1/2 the tensile strength of a Grade 8. Stainless is not a great choice for high stress load points, and that steering arm is going to see a lot of shock load. A friend used SS button heads to bolt his pulley to the front of his harmonic balancer, wanting the polished look, and about a year later he heard a rattle and found the heads off of all but one.... He was lucky!Roger
