Hi everybody. I just joined yesterday after looking around for a while. I'm a custom painter (shop owner) and certified welder. Had my share of rides, 66 427 vette roadster, 71 Nova bigblock Pro-street, 1st series 54 Chevy pick-up (348 w/2-4's and 700r-4)that never got completed , then a bone stock 55 Buick Special, 264 v-8 auto. Of course I have NONE of them left. Currently building a 74 Super Beetle with (for) my son. 4.3 V-6 chevy up front, s-10 rear, straight axle front, folding chopped top... this is gonna be a fun one!!!! Always done everything myself. Body work, engines, (oops, I lied...I DON'T do transmissions!!!) upholstery (probably never again though!!!) electrical and of course paint. I saw some familiar names on here already from some other forums. Looks like its gonna be a fun place to hang out!!!
