Where do you start? Sounds like you started four years ago.

Well I'm a Chevy guy....the Chevelle is old but it is nice to get it out every now and then....big, can I say BIG car with no power steering and no power brakes....and four wheel drum brakes at that. But again it has been in my family since new so I grew up driving it.

Ok the chevelle makes my drool. Just a bit lol those are beautiful full on raw muscle cars. I do have an 85 Monte I'm working slowly on so that's my other baby. My 96 coupe now looks like a pair of Dorothy's shoes from the wizard of oz. No joke the cars all heavy red flake now, found some 17" lexani krystals cus I like wheels that leek my brakes covered tinted and sporting a bra. The bra is covering damage on the front due to a rock attacking my car. I would love to post a pic so I will hop on my pc here shortly. So far the only sites have been k 2 motor and car complaints for me so this is sweet. Just did the timing belt n bs belt, and completed the oil pan yesterday but torque wrench is jacked off so hand torqued it for now til I can later today hopefully. My daughter is more into learning the car than my son at the moment. So she may end up with it in the longrun. I have been looking for a Honda car club here in Colo. But all are civic fenatics lol. A friend called mine a luxury racer? It just looks like it but most is stock under the hood. I have the big block of Honda? Lol so aside from being my daily driver I hope to find help and solutions to my cars ailments as well as learn it better and do some engine upgrades. Like converting automatic to stick and giving my girl some better aspiration and oomph. But there it is I'm glad to have found this site I thinks it great.
