Lakeroadster Checking In
Wanted to say hello.... and say thanks for letting me join the forum.
I'm a retired Mechanical Engineer and have been goofing around with Chevy's and Fords since the mid '70's.
I hope to learn a bunch here, and maybe help some folks if I can.
John

Projects & What I'm Working On.
Thanks for the warm welcome.
My current project is a '65 C10, running a 350 SBC & M-21 trans. Here's a few photo's and there's a link to it's build thread in my signature line.
I also have a really nice #'s matching '69 Camaro SS, a '31 Ford Tudor and a '27 Ford RPU.
The old Fords I built from the ground up custom frames and rear suspensions... the Camaro has been here in Colorado it's entire life and it's soooo clean i've endeavored to leave it be. I just added tires, wheels, headers and slapper bars to it as we did back in the 70's.

Wow, you've got a great assortment of fine vehicles! Love the patina on the C10, and the Camaro is fantastic. The stance of the hiboy sedan is killer and gotta say the '33 grill on the '27 is an interesting feature that I expect gets you some comments, too. Thanks for posting pictures!Roger
