Hello

Hi All!! I wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I'm getting ready to start my first rebuild/restoration. My project is a 1955 Chevy 3200. It's a hand-me-down from my great-grandfather who gave it to my grandpa who gave it to my aunt upon his passing and is now in my capable yet amateur hands. Along the journey my grandpa shoehorned a 455 rocket Olds between the fender wells. It runs and drives as my aunt frequently drove it to and from work but she sure needs a lot of work to get it to where I want to go. I joined to get insight and advice from those who have traveled along this path and to share my progress with you. I look forward to meeting a few of you and picking your brains as much as I can.

Thanks
KM

Re: Hello

Thank you all for the welcome. My truck is a 2nd series big window. I can't for the life of me figure out the picture system in here or I would post a few pics of how she sits. Maybe I could ask my first price of advice on the matter haha
