To many projects, now that I'm retired hope to get some work done on them instead of just gathering parts and wishin'. Also just finished building a 35' x 50' shop where the '55 is sitting.

I wanna come to your house.

Does Grumpy know of this?

Welcome! I would like to thank you for your service to our country. Sounds like you have some great vehicles. I really like the color of the Chevelle. Enjoy your retirement. Keep us posted with pictures of how the projects are coming along.

Thanks for the warm welcome and kind words folks. Will take me a bit of time to get familiar to the site but as the weather warms plan on spending more time with the Chevelle.

Much as I'd like I think adding a '55 2dr. hardtop is out of the question. Would really like to build one similar to the '55 Bob Falfa had in American Grafitti but the financial officer (aka re: wife) says "no more toys, just play with the ones you have". Almost word for word, LOL.

The wagon is tarped right now awaiting being moved into the 35x50 shop when it is done. A LLLOOOONNNNGGGGG way to go on it. 2dr. 210 Handyman, IL 6 banger (boat anchor now), 3 on the tree with underdash old school overdrive unit. Will try and post some pics of it some time in the future when it moves into the shop later come spring I would guess.

Lots of things I want to get rollin' on but right now the temp is 14 above, fireplace is cooking and I am SO ready for spring.

Welcome to the site. Glad to have you. Nice rides man.

Forgot I do have this one pic of the '55 wagon loaded in the computer. Not the best but it shows a bit of what there is to work with. Also in this pic in the back ground is the old shed I tore down to replace with a new retirement shop. That is in the next pic coming up. The '56 Nomad belongs to my brother-in-law, storing it for him as he has no room for it. I keep telling him the storage charges may be covered by taking posession of the Nomad, LOL.

This is the 35x50 retirement "playhouse" I built replacing the old shed. Still need to do the electrical wiring before I move all the toys inside.

I like those wagons and the playhouse is nice as well.
