Want to introduce myself
My name is Jim. I have been looking at this site for a few months, just joined. I am 41 years old , I own a body shop in east AR. I rebuild and resell wrecks and also restore muscle cars. I caught the fever for a 67-72 and found one a few months ago. It is a 70 lwb plain jane and I am just starting to work on it. My plans are to change it to a swb[I have the short frame stripped down and the bed is on the rotissere] 5 hole suspension, power steering,power brakes, tilt, tac-vac and overdrive. I still have not decided on the drivetrain, I have several in the corner to chose from. I know some one will hit with the worthless w/out pics thing I will try to post some soon. I will also try to post pics of the frame after I finish weldind up all the unneeded holes. Jim
