Introducing... Myself?!

Hey all, names Tony I'm 22 and in the pipeline industry. I have a background in fabrication, and manufacturing, and i wont let anyone touch my truck with ANY sort of a tool. Speeking of my truck i have an '81 C10 short bed that i bought about 2 months ago, and am working on building a street rod/daily driver out of, it currently has a 350 true full roller motor with an edelbrock 650 preformer carb and intake, bored 30 over with flat top forged pistons, port and polished with a comp cam and double sproket timing setup. It has a stage 2 built th350 tranny from lesters gear, and a rearend from hell, the gearing is way off. here are some pics... i'll have more later.

Re: Introducing... Myself?!

Welcome to the hangout! I'm actually new to this forum as well. As a matter of fact I am also 22, I'm in the power plant business, and my truck is pretty damn close to your setup. We even have the same paint job haha. I bought my truck probably 6 months ago. The only difference is I am running a sb 400 bored 30 over with a few minor tweaks backed by a th350 trani. My current mods have been new front clip, new doors, new bumpers (all from a suburban), I installed bucket seats, ripped out the nasty carpet and headliner, took out the dash to replace the speakers and I am now in the process of upgrading the sound system, guages, and installing flowmaster mufflers. Keep us up to date on your truck man. This is a good site to learn some pretty cool stuff. See ya around! Laterz!
