Newbie here from LA soon to have '67 SS

[dougsthang]

Hey everyone,

My name is Doug and I've been out here in California about 20 years coming from Chicago. First years were up in the Bay Area and the last 13 years have been here in LA. Just went through the process of buying my first Chevelle. Was introduced within another forum to Mike Powell (mysterychevelle.com) who guided me through finding and acquiring the car I've been yerning for. Mike had a friend John Padgett (forum member and referred me to join here) who lived in the area of the seller. John was kind enough to go out and drive and check the car out (thanks again John). My car is on the carrier and should be here in about 12 days. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. Found these good folks when I was asking questions about what turned out to be a nightmare car with reattached vin plates. Now I have a real 138 car coming here to cruise up and down the coast in. Maybe even a Friday evening Van Nuys Blvd cruise for a little Old School thing.

My career is in the music business, I used to play professionally now do studio work out my house. My corporate career is as a Sales Manager for DigiTech (we make guitar, bass and vocal effects).

Anyway, hey
