    I'm New :):)

     



    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.

    If I had to take a wild guess i would say this isn't the first time he's been proud of you.

    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.
