new addition

Hey guys, I just purchased a 1949 GMC pickup. It's on it's way here as we speak from Kansas. Def excited and can't wait for it to get here.

I'm a mechanical engineering major at Rutgers University in NJ. I have built up some fast mustangs, a couple lifted jeeps, a couple civics and been working on cars since I was 14. And kinda thought it'd be nice to build something a little slower and a little classier. I have been saving up since the beginnging of this school year to buy a new project as I had sold my last jeep.

I was driving a family 99 explorer and one day travelled home to visit my father to pick up some paper work at his work on the new jersey parkway. I parked behind the building and walked inside. One\ the way out the back door, heard an enormous crash. Some guy fell asleep driving on the parkway, went through a drainage ditch and hit the explorer so hard it through it sidewise into a camry, haha, my dad's camry, totally both cars in about 2 mins, but good note, if my father hadn't asked me inside I may have been in the truck. So I thought if that wasn't a sign to pick up a project, I didn't know what was.

My roommate just purchased a nissan 350z and sold me his 87 mazda b2000 pickup to get around and as the daily driver, and within a week I purchased the truck. Definately looking forward to working on here and posting more for your guys insight.
