Newbie from Portland Oregon - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

66Z71 · 02-05-2009, 12:24 PM

I've been lurking for the last couple of weeks. My latest project is to do something with the '62 SWB Chebby I've had since Highschool. It's been thru 3 motors, 2 frames, I don't know how many sets of tires. But it never seemed to get painted or finished. It's looked basically the same for the 25 years I've had it.

Here is what I'm hoping to end up with.

Something that can pull my trailer, go in the snow, and take the kids to school.

Also hoping to meet some people that are more into cars than my neighbors.
