New to site from NH

new to this site but an old hand at the hot rodding gig. I have vehicle A.D.D and change projects offten. I am into metal fab mostly. chassis, suspension, turbo systems, headers etc. A stack of raw steel does it for me! Started as a small lad in my dads MG restoration business. Have a 69 chevelle SS 396, 73 datsun 610 (currently swapping to a turbo LS1 motor) and just picked up a 35 ford pick up project. 5 " chop started, will be a 3" channel, 454, th400, lakes headers, fenderless with just a hood top. sold a 70 chevelle to start this one and also finished (mostly) a 23 T based track roadster with sprint car steering, 350/350 9". cut out the seat stuff and sat on the floor. Just sayin hey.

it is a 2K LS1 th400 w/ trans brake, 9" 4link and a T76 ball bearing turbo. 3rd gen camaro struts and spindles w/ coil over conversion, subaru rack. had to move the strut towers in 3" and back 1" to make it work. other than the exhaust note and wheels you would never know it as it all fits under a flat hood. Shooting for 700hp and 1800lbs.
