My hobbies
I have been working on cars for over 50 years (I'm 61) My dad was a mechanic. I have built many cars for street strip ovals dirt ovals. I just love cars. I am curently building a pro-street 53 ford 2 dr wagon. I am also at the same time building a 57 chevy 2 dr wagon for my wife as she said she had to have one. Most of the car builds were frame off. Some people cringe at that but Ive done at least 8 and drove each one when done. Others must have liked them as I only have one left right now. Its a 71 C10 long bed fleetside. It has a 350 with about 400 hp. lots of fun to drive. My grandkids wonder why grandpa has to have a hot rod I simply say I ain't dead yet. I even had one of my cars featured in Super Chevy mag back in 91. I'm here because no one knows it all I plan on reading and learning. I may even speak up from time to time.
Thanks for having me.

Building a 1937 Caddy with a LS 2 engine. Looking at the exhaust system and wondering if I really need to put an X or H pipe in the system or can I just go straight dual exhaust. Will performance be...
