Hey guys whats up my name is john and this is my first post. first off i guess ill say a lil bit about me im 20 yrs old and aint no newcomer to the chevy life. i have had about 5 camaros since the age of 16 all purchased on my own. i currently have a 2002 camaro z28 which i made into a ss clone.and just recently got a 1969 chevelle malibu which is not in bad shape.it has a 350/350 and has very minimal rust and runs strong.it was sitting for a few yaers in a garage so i was lucky and got a nice car. i hope to learn a lil more about these beautiful muscle cars on this forum and hope to be able to ask questions and get some great answers to help me on resto project in which i hope to make this chevelle into a 69 ss clone.thanks guys

Soon you will be finding your self helping others, answering there questions or just offering a new perspective on an idea.

wow man thats nice to see another san jose guy on here. well nice to meet you man and yes hope to see you around

Congratulations!!! As you can see by my signature I am a 69 guy myself. You are going to love this forum and you will be able to answer all your questions here. I wish I had a passion for classic muscle when I was 20, instead I just did my part in destroying them along with my peer group (late 70's). We did have fun drag racing though. :thumbsup: Gotta love those California cars :D
