    greetings from 4 corners

     



    hi there
    this seems like a good place thanks for having me.
    i am a 46 year old guy that is brand new to rodding.

    i am not a mechanic and dont know a thing about rods so please bear with me.
    i picked this stuff up yesterday.
    27 chevy p/u body
    rebuilt 302ford 2bbl.
    c6 3 speed auto
    9" rear end
    i may have a line on a T frame

    uh oh

    Welcome Billy,
    You've gotten yourself into a good potential build!! Since you did a JEEP (Just Empty Every Pocket) you are already primed to pave the way with $$$. Post some pictures of the Willy's when you can.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
