Hello everybody
Just wanted to say high and to introduce myself. 50 years old now and have been playng with cars a long time. Previosly owned a 66 GTO, a 67 Chevelle, 73 Roadrunner. Got married and had kids and couldn't play anymore untill recenlty. I aquired a 55 Chevy 4 door wagon with a mildly warmed over 350 and a powerglide. Stock rear end. Body has a little rust but not bad.
All in all, should be a fun project. Just have to decide which way I want to go, Kinda like the chopped look but don't rally like the idea of cutting up a perfecly good body. Just have to think on it. Anyway, hello everyone and I hope to benifit from all your accrued wisdom and I look forward to some really fun times here.
Thanks
