Hello all:

This looks like a great forum and I am happy I found it. my fleet consists of a 1957 chevy, a 1951 Studebaker, a 2008 Corvette and a 1996-built replica of a 1950's era Teardrop trailer.

I grew up in North Hollywood, CA, graduated from Cal State Northridge, spent 5 years in the Navy as an Aviator, then 30 more years with Delta Air Lines as a pilot, retiring in 2003. I've been a car nut for over 50 years, partcipating in Drag Racing, Go Karts, Autocross, Dune Buggies and off road Motorcycles. I now live in Dallas, TX, as my job took me here many years ago. My wife and I are looking to move back to CA if the real estate market will ever move!

The '57 has a B & M supercharged 327, 700R4 trans, 3.73 posi ten-bolt, air, CPP500 power steering, disc brakes with a hydroboost and a lot more. It has been a long hauler on two Power Tours as well as been to Reno for Hot August Nights and to the Back to the Fifties meet on St Paul--I drive it!

The '51 Stude is currently in the body shop getting painted. It has a Weiand blown 350, TH400 trans with a Gear Vendors OD, narrowed 12 bolt rear end, custom dash, air, a '68 Camaro front clip, Stainless Steel front disc brakes and a lot more.

I do have one question for the moderators, I have entered a post last Friday and it has yet to be posted. I belong to several other forums and my posts there go in immediately. Is there some policy here where all posts must be checked over for viruses or something? I do not remember reading anything about this when I signed up. I would appreciate a response on this so I know what is going on. I am not posting photos as this might be the fly in the ointment as to why my posts seem to be held up. Larry
