Hello from upstate ny

Sitting at a buddies house this summer and in rolls this SWB 2wd Custom. I swear it was akin to a movie scene, love at first sight
The factory chrome everywhere had me giddy, faded older grayish blue paint.
Not perfect but not molested by any idiots either besides the radio mount hole being cut.
It wasn't for sale at the time but I swooned over it most the summer. Received a phone call in late October that it was up for grabs and I was first to know.
Paced the house in complete anxiety,within ten minutes I was talking to the owner who believe or not lived a few houses down from me!!!
Had to sell my 68 nova that id owned for 20 years to make it happen but well worth the sacrifice
And I've been reading this informative site ever since. Plans are street/strip truck, installing a AFR headed 496 once suspension and rear is completed.

My first nova was a 71 4 door 6 banger powerglide. My big brother and father laughed hysterically when I pulled up the driveway
because of the extra doors!
To make matters worse I then asked why it never shifts into 3rd? Lol young dumb and...oh to be 18 again.
