New Guy from Texas
Hello All,
I am a long time lurker, first time poster.. I'm from Central Texas, Pflugerville, to be exact. Not new to cars in general, but I finally got a nice little project on my hands, 57 Chevy 3600 LWB, was a heck of a deal for $750 bux. This thing is solid with only 3 rust spots, rear bottom cab corners and drivers fender...easy fixes. I just started it up last week, when I bought it the owner didn't know to much about it, it is was a long forgotten project, he never really tried to turn it on, so he didn't know if it would....well it did, with little effort....purred like a kitten. Pretty stoked. Here is a picture, I have also attached pics of my other heap (53 Olds "4" door converted into a 2 door with a chop). Laters Rey |
