Old memember that never really introduced himself - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Walts_restoration · 01-05-2008, 11:32 AM

Well, ive been a memember for a while now, but i figure its time i say my howdys.

Im 17, still living at home (like most of them) and plan to pursue a career into custom automotive fabrication. next year ill be attending pittsburg state in south east kansas majoring in, you guessed it, automotive. Most people mix me up with my dad walt (his "business" name is walts restoration, where i get my name)

Usually if your dealing with one of us on the phone, its him. But, he cannot even turn a computer on, So im always the one thats online and doing anything that involves modern electronics (finally tought him how to use the remote.

I loaded some of my pictures up, and i thought id share some of my lawn ornaments with you, i dont have any of my farm, but its an hour and a half south and more stuff stashed out there believe it or not. Here we go.

Walts_restoration · 01-05-2008, 11:32 AM

Im trying to convince my dad to start selling stuff so i can focus on restoring and fixing up others, but hes still being stubborn, but hopefully im slowly winning him over.

Welcome,

esll.

Walts_restoration · 01-05-2008, 05:22 PM

its only a small collection...few more in the driveway that were probally missed in the pics. I think the totals pushing 150? maybe? all chevys, with the newest being my moms 91 rs camaro, then my 86 k5, then it gets more and more common from 55-80 or so.

72BlckButy · 01-05-2008, 05:36 PM

86swb · 01-06-2008, 12:46 PM

Welcome to the board from Western Kentucky. Is your Dad going to try and restore all them?? Or are they for sale the way they are. Wow, some collection. As was already said "Lucky guy".....

Walts_restoration · 01-06-2008, 01:05 PM

i doubt he has the intent to restore any of them, i think hes happy just letting them sit there and rot, witch really sickens me, its his hobby, and i keep telling him now is the time to sell, but for some reason he keeps holding on. Im 17, and i do own quite a few cars, all of them i am slowly fixing up, unlike him who simply gets them running and driving like the day they came out of the factory then parks them.

Walts_restoration · 01-06-2008, 01:06 PM

take in mind hes been collecting since the 70's

68GMCCustom · 01-06-2008, 03:58 PM

...I'd love to talk him out of a nice '67 or '68 Camaro if there's one laying around.

oh....and they aren't ALL Chevy's....I saw a Pontiac.

Walts_restoration · 01-06-2008, 04:07 PM

two pontiacs...but please dont tell....

bought one to fix the other

**lolife99** · 01-06-2008, 05:58 PM

Just in case,... Do you have any interest in selling the '68 panel?

Walts_restoration · 01-06-2008, 06:09 PM

he isnt intrested in selling anything...and im sorry but i got my eyes on that panel.... haha. Ill probally end up rescuing it before he starts selling stuff, and if he sells stuff first, im keeping it and the 64 red and white suburban and a handfull of others.

62 short step · 01-06-2008, 06:10 PM

Welcome!! What a collection!! Man one of those 55 stepside shorties would look good sitting in my driveway!!

Walts_restoration · 01-06-2008, 06:13 PM

at one time we were talking about selling the blue one thats in the yard..big back window, recently rebuild six with 3 speed on the tree, runs and drives. His price was a little high in my oppinion, but then again he doesnt want to sell anytihng, but probally would for the right amount of green....that way he can drag more home haha

Old Dave · 01-07-2008, 05:41 AM

Welcome neighbor and that's a nice collection of lawn ornaments.

Good luck at Pittsburg State next year.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 01-07-2008, 06:26 AM
