Hi my name is Mark and im 19, i have been into cars my whole life. Thanks to my Dad, and in payment to everything he taught me i got ahold of a 1979 corvette which was in a wreck and i rebuilt it and gave it to him for his 50th birthday present. Now im working on another car, its a 1961 chevy pickup. My biggest problem with this is i have no idea where to get parts. All suggestions are welcome. :)

Welcome to the club, 61 chebbie. Mighty fine thing you did for your dad. I showed your post to my son, all he said was "yeah, right, keep dreamin' pops"!!! Should I take this to mean that he is not out shopping for a '57 T-Bird for my birthday???? Hope you enjoy your time on CHR.
Thanks to everyone who welcomed me to this club, this is a great site with great people, and hopefully if this works this is my truck.
neat looking ride ya got there, chebbie
Welcome to the club and NICE RIDE

Nice story about the 'vette you fixed for your Dad! I can remember being 19 and even recall 1961, your truck looks new!
