Actually Dwayne at N&N fiberglass "is" going to send me a bunch of pics of the chassis and body being finished so I will be putting alot of pice very soon!

Awesome! I can't wait to see it!

I seem to go in spurts. Like most here, I still work a 40 hour plus week and sometimes I just don’t have enough left over to engage in an intelligent conversation with the wife, much less on line.

I really do appreciate those who post here and continue to learn – especially on the technical side from those of you who build engines for a living. The numbers that people provide from simulation programs are helpful and I am continually amazed at the technology that we’re seeing in the head department. The introduction of CNC was fifty years ago and it just keeps improving along with the compute power that drives it. I remember reading technical articles from Zora Duntov in the sixties and thinking, “surely this is the ultimate small block Chevy!” Duntov would be smiling at the results from the current generation aluminum heads sitting on basically the same engine he worked with in the 1950’s.

I’ve always loved cars and this is, in my opinion, the best site to exchange ideas that have been proven with years of experience. I try and add my two cents where it makes sense but have to admit that there many here who leave me in the dust when it comes to the finer points on tuning and tweaking. I am always encouraged by the build threads and I like to see and hear about the innovative ideas people come up with in regard to scratch built components from consoles to suspension parts or “big-block Cadillac transplants performed by pretty girls!” I keep working on my little Nova (started it up last week! Yeah – she sounds real good) and I will drive it one day soon. Priorities shift and change and we just need to remember that the only thing that’s the “end-of-the-world” is well, the end-of-the world!

The interior and paint jobs shared by members here are off the chart – doesn’t matter if it’s a rat rod or a high end “built-to-sell”, I enjoy reading about the project and try and take something for “future reference” from most of them.

Equally enjoyable are the friendships and personal posts. Where else will you have people world-wide thinking about you and praying for you during heart surgery? I think we all love Dave’s granddaughters even though few of us have had the opportunity to actually meet them. I plan road trips with CHR folks in mind and look forward to coffee with people whom I consider friends long before we meet face-to-face.

So post when you can and know that in between those times we’ll be thinkin’ about you and hoping all is well with you hot rod, your dogs, your kids, etc. (not so much with the cats…)

Regards All,
Glenn
