Thread: Another noob

Tweet

Hi,
My name is Gary and I've been a car nut all my life. When I was little I could impress all my freinds and family by identifying cars driving down the road. It's a bit harder now. I have had various cars: a '69 Grand Prix, a '66 Lemans, '62 Falcon, 64 Impala and most recently a '72 Cutlass. I sold the Cutlass so I could build my current car a '48 Chevrolet Fleetline Aero Sedan. This is my first street rod and my first ground-up restoration. I'm sure I'll have lots of fun and a million questions. I'm glad to have found this forum. My car is currentlly in pieces. I have diassembled it down to the frame rails. I have ordered a hub to hub IFS unit from RB Obsolete. It should be here this week, yay! I plan to get a posies super slide springs setup for the rear suspension to go with my '72 Nova rear. I have a TH400 trans, and plan to install a belly button 350 chev. I would love to here from anyone who has a 46-48 chev to swap stories, etc.

Welcome to CHR, you'll have a great time in here. There are many people that would love to help you along with any questions. Nice variety of vehicles.

Welcome aboard Gary.

Go to the "members" link at the top of this page and look up brickman. He's our current 46-8 Chev stud!! In the upper right of his profile you'll see a small link to all the posts he's participated in. In there will be several on various modifications he's brought up.

Thanks guys! I feel welcome already.

I used to own a 72 cutlass. Great car, got a 455 swapped in mine from a 70. That car would always turn heads. Trick for identifying- classify American and ricer for a few weeks. That makes it a lot easier. BTW, if you find you need to sell another late60s/early70s Oldsmobile again, drop me a line! Im gonna need another one eventually
