Hi everyone....Im new here from the DFW area. Thought i'd step in here and say hello.
I'm a young guy with a huge passion for cars, old and new, and also a big passion for going fast.
I love to take a car and make it look better than before, no matter what the steps may be.
I currently drive a 2007 Red Rock Metallic Grand Cherokee srt8 as my DD, and have been working my BUTT off to get my projects finished outside of work and such.
first project(which is finished), which didn't need much work at all is a 1970 Buick GS 455 Stage 1, fully restored #'s car, which i got lucky to find, especially for the price. I know, im problably biased towards it....but there's no muscle car like that thing!
second project(finished as well. is a 1939 dodge deluxe 4 door, with an L-head Inline 6. 13,400 original miles and needed absolutely no work except a good cleaning and polishing...its in SHOW car shape. Not bad for a barn find.
The unfinished ones im working on are a 1961 dodge dart with a slant 6 and 24k original miles. Body's in great shape, paint's great....and just finished getting the motor up and running. Have to get it re-upholstered and finish re-wiring some things.
lastly, i just recently picked up a 1971 gran torino...with the original 351C in it.
It's going to be a HUGE project, inside and out. But in the end, it'll be a #'s matching beaut, that ill be able to hand to my father. He had one back in the day, and always gripes about how he never should have sold it. He'll be in for a surprise.
anyways, now that I've written a novel about my passion....ill stop where im at. And ill post pictures soon, for you curious minds! I'm on my work computer, so I can't post em now
Look forward to meeting some great people!
