Howdy all.
I made my first few posts already but thought I better come here to make an introduction. I'm an old fellow (60) that still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up. LOL
Retired after 20 years in the USAF and then went to work to make a living. I wound up being a computer network administrator and NEVER thought I'd be a computer geek.
I've always had a passion for anything with wheels and a motor. I have had a 49' Chevy pickup for the last 25 years that is still a work in progress. But aren't they all? My wife of 43 years and I recently purchased a 68' Olds 4-4-2 for a retirement project. We plan on attending shows, cruise-ins and just getting it out on weekends to turn heads. I came here to learn as much as I could to maintain and improve our new baby.
Thanks for having me and I guess I better get back to work. Have to make some money to feed this new addition. LOL

Welcome to the site again. FYI, I don't think any of us really grew up yet, let alone figured out what we wanted to be. However after all these years, 57, I have figured out what I don't want to be if I ever do grow up.

Welcome again, still a sweet ride. Post another video, the one where it's doing a burn out. 
Hell, you're only 60, you need new tires anyway.

You're not the first to ask for that. I was about to as I got it off the trailer but the wife shouted that she had already shut the camera off. And that if I DID, I would have to power wash my mess in the driveway. And believe me, it's WAY too hot and humid here now to be scrubbing a driveway. So, I'll save THAT video session for a cooler time and probably someone else's pavement.

Someone else's pavement for sure, I still have a mark in my driveway from a 76 Custom Cruiser that pissed me off 3 yrs. ago. I like the really slick roads that have had a lot of traffic, burns good and the tires last somewhat longer if the pavement doesn't have a bunch of hard pebbles, ha.
