Hey everyone, new to the board!
Figured this would be the first place i would post before i get into some technical questions. My names Rick, im 21 and i live in North Western Georgia. I've been doing metal fab and welding for about 4 years now, and ive been turning wrenches and building engines ever since i was about 13 with my dad. Hotrodding has always been a famliy affair, and we have a family Super Pro/Super Gas 69 Camaro that we race just about every weekend.
I personally own a 79 Z28 pro-touring car with a blown 383 and 6 speed T56. My father has a fully show restored 67 Camaro SS and we both frequent shows all during the year. My current project is a 87 S10 p/u that i've been installing a 2000 vette LS1 with a f-body 6 speed into. I believe however that im chaning my plans slightly and im wanting to drop a 47-54 chevy p/u body over the chassis, so thats what brought me to you guys. Ive always loved those body style trucks and i figure that it would also help me atleast get my money back out of this project if i were to ever sell it. I have several pics of our cars, but there fairly large so i'll wait to post them until someone wants to take a gander. But thanks for your time, and i hope to have a good time on this board.....later.

I like the LS1 idea, ive got a 93 LT1 in my 97 S10, but will I ever get my money back when I sell it, I doubt it. need to see some pic.:D
