Just wanted to say hi .
This looks like a nice forum and I'm sure I'll enjoy it. I have a '69 Chevy stepside that I'm just finishing an engine for and a '59 Corvette waiting in the shop to be next.
I like most cars and trucks especially real hot rods.

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.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Here's my web site with pictures of the projects. The site hasn't been updated in a few years but then the projects haven't changed much either.

The engine in the truck in this picture is dead and I have done a lot more to the supension. Also I now have the shop finished.
My first car in '63 was a '39 Ford Deluxe 2 door with a '55 Chevy 265. One of those should have never sold it things. It had less than 40,000 miles and was a sweet car.

hi bill,
Well shortly after I got my shop built and got the Corvette moved in there I aquired this '69 truck project. I convinced my wife and myself too I guess, that it wouldn't take too long to get this thing up and running. We all know how that goes. One thing led to another and when I got ready to pull the engine to paint the firewall back to the original yellow I discovered that the engine didn't turn. 2 cylinders had gotten water in them sometime long before I bought this thing. Thankfully I paid less that the cost of just the new parts that came with it.
So I've been building a new engine in my spare time. Here is the link to the engine thread I have going on the Corvette site.

It's rather lengthy but the whole idea is to end up with a good mild performance engine without selling the farm..
I'm hoping to build a fire in this thing soon and get this truck on the road next summer. Then it's full speed ahead on the Corvette.
