Thread: Hey Everyone

Tweet

Hey all, I am new to this board, so I thought the right thing to do was probably stop by and introduce myself. My name is Scott and I grew up in Northern Michigan. I am currently living in the greater Detroit MI area. I am 25 years old and an automotive test engineer. I grew up helping my dad work on the family 67 Chevelle 300 2 dr post car, and to this day love to get out and wind up all 327 cubic inches. Otherwise, I spend a lot of my free weekends at various dragstrips or circle tracks. Anyway, I figured I would join this board to see if theres anyone out there that may have some advice for me along the way as I start building my recently purchased project of a 1950 Chevy 5 window 3100 pickup truck. I pretty much know exactly what I am going to do with it, but hey, everyone has a question every now and then, also, I figure there might be something I can help someone else out with, or at the very worst, I might have a part or two to sell or trade from my truck buildup. So anyway, thats that.

Scott Welcome to CHR
You'll find a lot of help here I have built several 50/51 chevy and GMC pick/ups. They are fun and easy to build, also fun to drive. Good luck with your project.

Welcome Scott. We have a few guys on here with similar trucks to yours, I think. Trucks make cool rods, and you never have to worry about room to carry stuff to a cruise or just driving around. Us roadster guys envy that a lot.

Welcome to CHR, Scott... Test engineer? Is that one of the guys who gets to go out and pound the snot of of new cars to see what breaks first? If that's what you get to do, nee an assistant????? If so, do you need an assistant????

welcome scott! dont give dave a job, unless you want to test the "top."

Thanks for the welcome everyone, and yes, that is a teaspoon of what I get to do at my job. I am sure I should probably jump to another forum for this, but while we are on the subject....does anyone have 2-3 good steel paintable bars for a 50 chevy grille? Thats just one of the many things I am in need of...haha.
Thanks, and I am looking forward to getting to know everyone around here.
