Hey y'all! I'm new!
Where to begin?
My first car was a 1962 2 door sedan. It was in amazing condition! Only needed paint. I had it for about 6 months then it was totaled while sitting in my front yard.
Here it is 12 years later and I've got a '63 4 door sedan that's a major project, but what do you expect for $100? It runs though! I also have a '62 2 door that we paid $250 for, but it's just a parts car (and a TOTAL rust bucket!).
I just bought a '63 1/2 S-22 hardtop. What an ordeal that was. Let's just say it was NOT what was advertised. Not even close. After being put through the total ringer, we still got it against my better judgment. Lesson learned! It's in pretty good condition and supposedly ran great.....turns out it doesn't run at all actually. It's a LONG story.
There are several things I need for the two cars, but right now we're focusing on the S-22. Boy do we need help! My husband's just too proud to ask for it or admit it!
No matter what, I LOVE these cars! I hope to be on the road by September, even though I'm pretty impatient! I look forward to talking to other enthusiasts and hopefully getting some advise!
I'm glad y'all are here!

Welcome to the forum. So your Husband won't ask for help? I thought we weren't supposed to ask DIRECTIONS.
Get him started visiting us here, and he will see that all of us ask for help from time to time........some of us more than others (me
) There are guys and gals on here who have been down the same roads you guys are probably trying to navigate, and they would be very happy to offer some suggestions.

Welcome to CHR! You or your husband can get a lot of help here all you have to do is ask. Get him on the keyboard, I am sure it will be an enjoyable time spent here. Lots of experienced members who are very willing to share their knowledge and will also make you all feel right at home.Bob

Nice looking truck if you like modern , I don't. I am old school and painted over chrome and ugly large wheels just don't cut it for me.
