Default Hi from the new kid

I’m only 27 but I’ve been around cars for as long as I can remember. My father has a 1970 Chevelle SS convetible that he has had for 22 years and I own a 1971 Malibu that I have had for 11 years. It was my first car and without a doubt the most fun car I’ve ever owned. I have restored or replaced almost everything on the car so far, some stuff is still isn’t in yet but that’s why I enjoy the hobby. You’re never really done. I’m in the process of a center console addition among other projects. I’m looking forward to getting to know some other chevelle people.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I have been to the show in St. Ignace a few times with my parents when i was younger but have done mostly small local shows and lots of crusing with my new family. Still not venturing too far from home right now as the original wiring is unreliable at best. Thats this winter's project.

Well if you ever make it over to back to the bricks or the Woodward cruise look us up. Both shows are huge and offer a mind boggling amount to see.

By the way my best friends live in Canada, ones in north Windsor and the others are near Toronto. Who knows maybe in one of our trips that way we could stop by and say hi.

I would really enjoy getting to cruise out to some shows outside my area. If you are ever around let me know. the garage is always open to visitors.

Jay ,be careful about open invitations like that as we are also known to travel a bit and you might have more visitors than you know what to do with. Just kidding ,but we have some friends up there somewhere to visit some day.
