Hello to everyone! I really enjoy seeing all the projects here! I grew up in SE OK and was away for a few years while in the Navy. When I was younger I had a 1951 Chevy Bel Air 2dr hardtop with a 54 model 235 straight 6. I drove it during my last two years of high school and when I graduated my Dad and I put in on a 1976 monte carlo frame with a sbc 350. It took me to Chicago, IL and Long Beach, CA while serving our great country. After the service I raced dirt circle track for a few years and it set around so I sold it. I worked construction as a pipe welder and now I am a maintenance mechanic at a power plant. I have a 54 Chevy 5 window truck that was my Dads. I rode in it when I was in diapers and plan on redoing it some day. I have been wanting to build something and use it as a daily driver going to work and back. Saw some cool rats at a car show and thought that would be great. I have a 93 S10 that I finally quit driving that has nearly 300,000 miles on it. Also have a 54 3 window cab and chasis that Im thinking of using with S10 parts and a 4.3 V6 to help on gas mileage. ???? A mid 30s to early 40s truck or an early 30s sedan would be great as a cruiser. I have been doing a lot of reading here getting ideas and taking lottts of notes. Hope to find something soon and get started building. Thanks to everyone![
