Hello from hot ass Texas.Kick ass site,wish I found it sooner-LowC10 linked me here.My name is Jon And I have a crappy hot rod truck and a crappy hot rod '70 Chevelle.I'm into the street/strip thing.Usually on our local stree race site or teamchevelle,gonna try to make time for here.Everything's good so long as there's a Budweiser close by.

Truck site,so about the truck-It's been wrecked before so it has parts from '73-'79 on it,but we're going with '76 Scottsdale.It's a black primer beater for sure but it's driven daily and it's a fun truck to drive..040+ 350 w/9.8:1cr hypereutectics,Comp XE268 w/1.6 Harland Sharp roller rockers,Vortec heads w/screw in studs,guide plates,Comp springs,mild pocket and chamber work and gasket matched to high rise single plane,valve cover adapters,gear drive,30% underdriven pullies,'vette water pump,OLD Hooker headers,2.5" side exit with Flowmaster 2 chambers,Mallory Hyfire VI w/ Promaster coil,Unilite & Mallory wires,Carbs vary-has Holley 750 vac 2ndary currently;700R4 w/stock converter,B&M Transpak,downshift valve,Corvette servo,low reverse and boost valve,B&M Megashifter,12 bolt w/3.08 & Powertrax Lock-Rite(old style);Front has Ground Force 2.5"(3")spindles and 1 coil cut from stock spring,rear has DJM flip,stock springs,hangers,shackles and Lakewood slapper bars;15x7 reverse Cragar SS w/205 70 15 front and 15x10 reverse Cragar SS w/285 70 15 rear BFG street radials with rolled fender lips;stock dash,Grant wheel,JVC head,crappy amp and speakers,'91 Chevy split bench.

Needs lots of work across the board,first things I'd like to do is a gear and converter swap(4.11 and 2400stall)and paint,it's a real eyesore.Sort out the suspension some as well.Fiberglass body parts....blah blah the list goes on...
