New guy from Ohio
Hi everyone
I just joined after being referred to this site for help with a problem on a friend'* car. I'll be posting that shortly - it'* a lulu!
Here are my Chevies - I have some other cars, but they're pretty far off-topic...
My favorite: 1966 Nova SS, original L79 car - I've owned it since 1972:
If it needs to be pulled or hauled, the '96 Silverado gets the call:
1972 Malibu - I really hated to take this car apart, but I did. This photo makes it look better than it was.
It'* going to get a soda blast, repaint, a new top and some decent wheels:
Finally, our latest purchase... a 1951 business coupe that we've named 'Kermit'.
We wanted an older car to take to cruise-ins and on tours.
This one was just too good to pass up!
We've already replaced the bumpers and done a few other little things...
I'll get a better photo soon, I promise!

It took a while to find this one because I really wanted an L79 car. I found it in June of '72, but it was dark (Danube) blue. The local Corvette repair guru was one of my best friends, and he agreed to help me change the color. At some point, I intend to do a complete restoration on the car and return it to its original color. I do have the complete numbers-matching drivetrain for it, as well as the build sheet (which I found behind the back seat after owing the car for probably 10 years!).

Oh how I love that Nova! My mom use to own one MANY moons ago.

Thanks for the kind words, folks.
Good to be here - had no idea that the forum existed until this week! Did a little nosing around on some older posts. You guys really talk about a wide range of topics!
