Newb checking in....
Been around Muscle all my life, but I'm a newb when it comes to HotRods
I recently traded my old useless boat for this badboy
'29 chopped steel
Built 454 Roller w/Tunnel Ram
TH350
9inch rear
Needs a little work and the first thing I do when getting into sumthin new is find a good forum, so here I am

Welcome to the site Rick, I don't know what kind of boat you had but I would say you got the best deal unless it was a 40' Yacht able to sleep a dozen people.

Welcome. Nice little coupe you got in that trade. Looks pretty well done, but I understand about you wanting to make it your own and redo some stuff.

Welcome, Snake,
I really like your coupe. Why is it that I never come across goodies like that?
There is probably a story behind most user names. I'd have to say that yours is ........ interesting? I'm not too sure I would want to hear how it came about!
Glad to have you.

Sold the car last year, but I still use the same name on hundreds of messageboards

Flipped it the very next week for $2000, then picked up this one....
Traded it straight up for this Mopar Powered Drag boat...
Had some fun with it, then I found a Mopar car collector that wanted my boat simply because it was Mopar and he had two matching Plum Crazy Purple cars and traded it for the yellow boat
After a few hundred emails inquiring about possible Muscle car and Hot Rod trades, I finally landed the coupe and traded the yellow boat straight up just a couple days ago
