Just wanted to say hi .
This looks like a nice forum and I'm sure I'll enjoy it. I have a '69 Chevy stepside that I'm just finishing an engine for and a '59 Corvette waiting in the shop to be next.
I like most cars and trucks especially real hot rods.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Here's my web site with pictures of the projects. The site hasn't been updated in a few years but then the projects haven't changed much either.:p

The engine in the truck in this picture is dead and I have done a lot more to the supension. Also I now have the shop finished.
My first car in '63 was a '39 Ford Deluxe 2 door with a '55 Chevy 265. One of those should have never sold it things. It had less than 40,000 miles and was a sweet car.

hi bill,
Well shortly after I got my shop built and got the Corvette moved in there I aquired this '69 truck project. I convinced my wife and myself too I guess, that it wouldn't take too long to get this thing up and running. We all know how that goes. One thing led to another and when I got ready to pull the engine to paint the firewall back to the original yellow I discovered that the engine didn't turn. 2 cylinders had gotten water in them sometime long before I bought this thing. Thankfully I paid less that the cost of just the new parts that came with it.
So I've been building a new engine in my spare time. Here is the link to the engine thread I have going on the Corvette site.

It's rather lengthy but the whole idea is to end up with a good mild performance engine without selling the farm..
I'm hoping to build a fire in this thing soon and get this truck on the road next summer. Then it's full speed ahead on the Corvette.
