Well, I'm what you call a Dedicated, Diehard Chevy Man! I even have a Chevy tattoo covering my whole left forearm. It reads:
"The Heartbeat of America, Yesterday's Chevrolet"
I've owned 9 Camaros, 4 Chevelles, 3 Corvettes, 2 Novas, and now the '56 Pickup. I've also owned a lot of other cars over the last 28 years, but they were more or less my daily drivers. For example I've had 3 lowered SWB's, 2 lifted SWB's, 3 Fiero GT's, 5 RX7's, and a couple MR2's.

I've won a few trophies over the years at some local car shows. I also did quite a bit of bracket racing when I was younger. When I was in my 20's and early 30's I lived about 3 miles away from SIR. (Seattle International Raceway)

I plan on lowering the truck another 3 inches, but I'm gonna have to c-notch the rear frame some more in order to do it. I'm going to replace the fuel injection system with a 6-71 Blower and have a "Shotgun Bill" scoop sticking out of the hood. I also plan on going narrower with the front rims (15x4) and adding a set of wheelie bars to get that completed "Pro/Street" look!

Well, I've been a drummer for the last 34 years. (We even made a couple CD's in the studio) I still like to go to as many Rock Concerts as I can get too. I also like camping, fishing, lots of shopping for car/truck parts, watching movies, going for walks with my dog, and hanging out with like-minded friends.

I have a High Current MA-Audio Amp that I still need to install. It's a "Competition Series" Amp that puts out 4400 watts RMS into .5 Ohms Mono. I'm waiting to build a new center console that will house a 3000W RMS 12" Subwoofer between the bucket seats. Then I'll mount a set of 6x9's in the doors, and a set of 5-1/2's in the kick panels.
