Default Old-time Internet Chevelle guy

In October 1996, I started the original Chevelle List e-mail mailing list, to get help in the care and feeding on the 1966 El Camino and 1966 Malibu convertible I had purchased earlier in the year. It was later incorporated into the Team Chevelle website, where it is currently hosted. I was active with the list until 1999, when I took a job in Brussels, Belgium, and an apartment in San Francisco.

Between 2001 and last year, my El Camino and my Malibu, completely painted, sat in my garage while I started and ran a small manufacturing business. Last year I sold the Malibu and arranged for the El Camino to be rebuilt. The project is nearly completed and the El Camino is once again a daily driver.



I am once again ready to rejoin the on-line Chevelle community. I am much more comfortable with web forums, which didn't exist in 1996, than I am with mailing lists. So here I am.

You can see a photo essay of the El Camino restoration on my Flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/simonov...7623009816644/

Welcome Mitch,

We are all looking forward to seeing more of your pics. And to picking your brain with our questions and your wide wealth of knowledge.

You have a beautiful El Camino.

Ms Grumpy
