new to clubhotrod
Hey everybody! I'm Quentin from Galesville, Wisconsin. I'm new to the site and compared to most I'm new to hotrods. I've been working on cars and trucks since I was 13 or 14, now i'm only 22, but i'm still learning.
I started working on cars with my dad, always fixing on his 76 custom deluxe k10. It's actually in primer again right now. I finally decided I wanted a project of my own. A lot of my friends are into demos and I've spent a lot of time building mean demo cars with them, sometimes traveling all the way to Rockford illinois for derbys. I have a 3/4 ton chevy I was going to demo but decided to try to fix it up. I was looking for a cab for it, when a friend from work told me about an 83 chevy shortbox for sale with no front clip. I bought it this spring and i've spent my hours of class (i'm also a senior in mechanical engineering at UW-P) dreaming about what I want to do to it.
I finally got the motor on the stand and tore down a bit. Hopefully this summer gives me a enough time to get it partly together. I'm sure i'll have plenty of questions for everybody on here. Have fun with the projects!!
