Hi from Tracy, Kalifornia

My name is Jim and I have been around cars my whole life. Been a mechanic for most but been in management for the past 15yrs. I have a shop in my backyard with a two post lift and all the necessary tools to get me by.

I am currently working on a 74 vette frame off that was my fathers. He passed away 2 years ago and I inherited the car. He was going to rebuild it when he retired but never made it that far so I am fulfilling his dreams. It will be an all out build.. Im stroking the 350 to 383 and using AFR 210cc heads and nitrous. Everything else will be top notch. It is a car I will never part with. I am sure I will have lots of questions for you guys so bear with me.

Welcome Jim, I'm just up the road from you near Marysville. I see the Tracy traffic report every morning on the TV. Sounds like you have a great project going that means a lot to you. Best of luck with it. I like that generation of Corvette, always one of my favorites.
