A friend of mine turned me on to this site. I look forward to being a good member and helping where I can.
My newest project is a '50 Chevy. The '50 is going to be an air bagged, modern chassis, SBC equipped, safe and reliable driver.
Other vehicles on my driveway are a '65 Chevelle 4 door, 283-powerglide, '73 Chevy C-10, 454-700R, bagged, and an '87 S-10, 383-TH350. Everything I own is tagged, insured and driven. Except the '50 as of now.
Like most guys my wife and kids like to have 3 meals a day and a roof over their heads, so my projects take a little longer to complete. LOL. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,987 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,987 | Don't you hate it when the wife finds out that other families eat 3 times a day?

Heck, with kids grown and gone, I usually work on mine with a wrench in one hand and a sandwich in the other when it's mealtime!
Note: For this, you hafta not mind an occasional gritty bite...

We have a pretty active group of Virginia/Maryland 'Bolters (The Old Dominion Stovebolt Society) with members from Dayton, MD to Lexington, VA and Va Beach, as well as from the Eastern Shore of Maryland to the Shenandoah Valley. We get together every now and then for weekend "activities" like junk yard crawls. Check out the Events Forum for our current discussion about the ODSS "Winter Classic." Chime in and meet everyone there!
Regards,
John

Like John mentioned The Old Dominion Stovebolt Society is a great way to meet up with fellow old truck lovers from your area. It is a great way to network for those hard to find parts you might need for your project.
Hope to meet you and to see your project sometime soon.

My job (driving a large brown delivery truck) kept me busy the last month or so, I should have sparks flying again real soon. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 | | | |
