Hello from the left coast

[Rank]

Just found this site whilst searching out a supplier of SS dashes and here I am!

First-off the word "Rank" was part of my past growing up in the sixties in Southern California. San Diego to be exact. I think it was word from the "rat-fink" genre and it means good things but it was one of those words like "bitchen" that the adults hated so I still use it to this day ..... I am Rank!

I left San Diego about 20 years ago and moved to northern Ca (Mendocino County) and here I sit

I currently have a 70 Chevelle roller that I picked up a few months ago and I am just about ready to breathe some life into it. But I am not sure what direction to go. I got a '73 454 engine and 400 trans that would slide right in there and I would/could go the LS6 clone route.

I also have a 59 Chevy sedan delivery with a 1970 300 horse 350ci and a th350 behind it .... I could jerk the 350 out of the Sedan Delivery, put it into the Chevelle and put the big block into the SD. I know the sbc's like the back of my hand and the gas milage in the Chevelle would be manage-able.

Right now I sorta have to work with what I have with the economy being sour and such. I havent pounded a nail in months (thank god for working wives!) and I hate the thought of selling something to generate cash ... but most of us are in the same boat, right?

I also have a 1993 Corvette roadster that is a fun car for road trips ... lt-1 with 6-speed .... yee-haw! I got the vette due to this strong desire I got seeing Todd and Buzz cruising Route 66 .... again in the sixties.

The 70 Chevelle is the second one I have had. My then 12 year-old son and I built the last one into (gasp) a roundy car in the early eighties. I built it then sold it to a driver and on its first nite out I watched him stuff it into the wall right infront of me .... Oh the horror!!! I wont do that to this one. LOL

But anyhow I'm gonna need some parts but to buy 'em I am gonna have to sell some parts so I plan on using this site for all it has to offer ..... and maybe now and then I can also contribute some nuggets of wisdom.

One last thing, all my pics are in my other computor that got infested with the "Defender-Pro" virus and until I can find a geek to straighten it out my pics are in limbo.
