Well as many of you already know me by my Bad start to the holidays. My name is Shawn I live in Rock Hill, SC. I have a 1952 Chevy 3100 That was a beautiful street rod (sorry guys) I have a camaro subframe with nova rear end drop spindles 350 with turbo 350 tranny yes she was all dressed up with vintage air etc. Well (what I am hoping was kids) decided to rampage through out neighbor hood they put a mailbox with a lit roadside flare through the back window. I did not have it on the road yet so no insurance. My unbealiveable wife was simpathetic and said redo it. Well you all know it is not cheap nor is it easy. But thank the god loard for a lot of you "BOLTERS" I placed a little post when everyone was so compashionate even offering things for free or at a GREAT rate . I think this is more of a humbled scincere THANK YOU from both myself and my wife. I have started posting pic but making an album.

......family! Thats what we are. I am speaking for myself but I'm sure MANY of us here have felt the "pay it forward" generosity from others and now have the chance ourselves to do likewise. Good luck. We're here to help. Hang in there.
Well I remember many months ago I found this forum and joined. Well the story goes like this I introduced myself a nd told everyone my story about my chevy. Well before I know it you guys all started donating parts out of the goodness of your hearts. My wife and I were simply overwhelmed with the blessings. I have a 79 camaro front clip under it with a nova rear end. It is powered by a chevy 350 with a th350 tranny. EZ wiring kit with dolphin gauges. s10 power seats. RCI fuel cell and a full duel exhaust. All new rubber, windows and front suspension bushings. I am still going to put in a wood bed kit and MY GOD ITS GETS HOT DOWN HERE so AC is going to have to be a must. I wanted to give it that nastolgic look so I sprayed a few colors before I laid on the wanda paint and sinclair logo than went at it with wet sanding followed by a mate clear. I drive it a lot and people Love it. All the work has been done by me. So its not perfect but its me and I have had a lot of fun doing it.

Nice progress. How much metal warpage caused by the fire? You dash look nice and smooth and from the before pictures I would have expected lots of warpage.
Shawn, great to see your on the road. Doctor told me I could drive in a few days so maybe I can get over to Rock Hill soon. Preferably on a cool day The Sinclair logo looks good.
