Well when I was a young buck of 17 I got turned on to cars and had my first real car a 68 Chevelle SS 396, all of a sudden A wife, 3 boys 8 dogs and twenty years go by and all of a sudden I get the urge again, except that a lot has changed, Having read many informative posts from former miami guy Grumpvette I am slowly trying to recreate my old High School ride and looking forward to hanging around here, thanks Grumpyvette for taking the time to put this together I cant imagine the amount of work it takes to do this as far as your time goes but I can imagine how much wealth of knowledge lies herein
thanks for making things happen!!!!

Glad to see you found a home here! We always like pictures of projects in the works, so post any if you have them.

I figured some one needed to put together some basic info to help the newer guys avoid all the mistakes I see being made, over the years, I sure learned much of the stuff the hard way so I hope I can prevent or help others from needing to go that route, its usually a lot faster and cheaper learning from other peoples mistakes and experience when they succeed, rather than making your own, mistakes and learning as you go.!

Good decisions come from Knowledge
Knowledge comes from Experience
Experience comes from Bad Decisions

thats one reason I started this site, to try to help the new guys avoid the long expensive learning curve and avoid all the wasted money and time it requires......if I knew what I currently know when I was 17 years old I could have built faster cars and saved uncounted thousands in wasted parts costs, I cringe when I see young guys making silly mistakes, like I made, and try to point out how and why things should be done correctly
