Just wanted to introduce myself. I bought a 1971 Chevelle from ebay and I got scammed so bad. It started out as a little project for me which has snowballed into an all out frame off Pro Touring build. I've got a 468 going in it, March serpentine system, 700R4, 12 bolt, custom paint, 22"/20" billet wheels, Air Ride Suspension with Shockwaves and Hotchkis sway bars, Willwood brakes front and rear, Retrotek pushbutton shifter etc.... What the hell have I gotten myself into? I will post some pics tomorrow of when I started. Should be done in about a month. Was hoping to make it to the Turkey Rod Run but not sure if I will make it. Wish me luck

Hi Eddie,welcome.:waving:

Welcome Eddie, from just south in Miami! Good to have another Florida guy here. :thumbsup::beers:

Welcome and I'll wish you good luck. I started a little motor trans project and I was hoping to make CB 08 and kinda missed it, then I was hoping I would make CB 09 and kinda missed that one to. I'm good to go for 10 if nothing else goes wrong but what I'm saying don't be surprised if deadlines get pushed back a little.....or so.:thumbsup:

Yes sir, it is an expensive lesson learned. I believe in karma and that guy is gonna get his.
