Another New Guy From Texas "RoundRock"
Been on the site for a bit now & have LEARNED SO MUCH! I realized today I never did the "welcome" thing so here goes.
Bought a 68 SWB as a project for myself & the Kids in DEC.07       Things my son, daughter & I have done so far. (Son=8, Daughter=6) 1. Shortened the steering column by 1" 2. Added a new steering wheel 3. installed an accel HEI Well there you have it. the "welcome" things is done. I guess I have to start a build thread to share all the things we will do over the next year. I'm sure it will not be anything as grand as I have seen here, but I hope to add a great photo diary of a family project that might inspire someone.

Re: Another New Guy From Texas "RoundRock"
ok time to update this page.
I have started a simple photo diary of the truck for my Dad who lives in Vegas, he wanted to see what his son and Grand kids where doing to the truck at any given time below is a link to the galleries if your interested. http://www.chevyengineering.com/gallery/main.php I'll be updating and adding more galleries often I'll pick some random pictures to post here as well, because I know how much everyone loves pictures.
