Aloha Everyone,

I'm 48, married my high school classmate about 4 years ago (sorry I took so long, but happy I did!). I'm the Brand Manager for a private school, used to be the Marketing Manager for the "T-brand" auto company. Got 5 step kids and 8 grandkids. The oldest grandsons learned their fractions by getting my non-metric tools for me.
Working on my 2nd Chevelle-will be a daily driver. Surrounded by 2000+ miles of ocean, rust is a problem but not a hinderance. This one might be my last one, so I want to do it the right way, my way all the way.
Being so physically distant, it is great that the internet and this website gets the "Chevelle-family" connected. I appreciate reading everyones' help.

Hello all,

I'm 42 years old and work as an IT Manager. I have two kids, a son that's 18 and a daughter that's 14. (I know two teens.....whew) I work as an IT manager and my toy is a Big Block 72 Chevelle with a Super t-10.

I'm 61 and retired from the National Park Service after 38 years - and a newlywed! My wife and her first husband had a 66 SS after they got married back in the day but it was stolen and stripped in Sacramento. When I indicated I wanted to get a Chevelle project she was all over that in support. Guess I should have kept looking for a 66 but the 69 is keeping me busy! Body and paint shop in August then off to the interior guru in Ada.

Wow, major long thread.

I'm a suit for a living, and a greaseball for life. Sell cars to pay the bills, and bust knuckles on my 68 for kicks.

If I had known rat rods were going to be the next thing, I wouldn't have wasted the last 2 years and $3000 welding all that new steel in my Ratty Chevelle ! :clonk:

What did I ever do to be so lucky ? :D

I'm a Navy vet (submarines) also worked on atlas missiles (GDA) and minuteman missiles (TBC) and the telephone company before going to the airlines.

Here goes. I'm 40 (not married,no kids but a Dog) work in the trucking ind. as a dispatcher, and I have Multiple Sclerosis. I used to bracket race for many years @ Lebanon Valley Dragway in upstate NY & was a several time Div. 1 Finalist. Was known as "Dan Dan the Chevy Man" when racing my '69 Nova. I don't race anymore due to my illness which has taken the sight from my left eye & caused problems with walking & balance,so I traded the Nova for the Chevelle. I am very happy to be here & love the comments I get from cruising the chevelle around town. I still love to work on the car but have some difficulties for which I have a good pool of friends that will help out when I need it. couldn't do it without them.

I'm 56 yrs. old , have restored 8 55-57 Chevys , 2 1937 John Deere tractors and a J/D #52 plow over the years . Now own a 65 El Camino L-79 car with 4 speed Muncie and looking to make it a nice driver . Have a wall full of car show trophies from the early years and past that now, too much work ,just want to enjoy myself , LOL !! :thumbsup: Have been with Boeing Aircraft 24+ yrs and work on the AH-64D Apache LongBow Attack Helicopter in Arizona .

We love to camp, fish, hunt, work on my 67 Chevelle, attend church and just hang out. I use to mini-stock race but this is my first venture into V-8 cars and restoration so I am learning a ton.

I'm a mechanical product designer for a major corporation. Married for 24 years and have two teenage kids and a house I am attempting to buy from the bank for the last 15years. I have had my 68 Chevelle for the last 26 years. Still not done and hope it never is. Too much fun monkeying with it!

I'm 42 years old, I am an automotive Technician in a new car dealership(blue oval) yeah!!! I know. The Chevelle belongs to my wife, I bought it this past summer for her as a surprise for her 40th birthday. I have a 7 year old son and a 5 year old daughter. The coolest thing is watching my kids laugh and their faces light up when my wife does burnouts with the hot rod.

Rich.

I know this is an old thread, but what the heck......

I'm 45 yrs. old, and I'm an aircraft mechanic. I build up the gearbox housings for the Blackhawk helicopters.

Hey all, 37 with too many kids!! I repair Color Copiers and printers for a meager living!:p

I'm new to the list but a Bowtie fanatic since high school and even before. Now I am 48, married 26 years with two teenagers (son, 18 and daughter, 15), and a sole practitioner attorney for 13 years. I've built some Classic Chevys and am a huge fan of my '96 Impala SS (the end of an era for GM!), but I'm really excited about getting the '68 SS clone on the road before the snow flies here in the Reno area. So, how many lawyers do you know with grease under their fingernails? :p

I'm 33 and I just got out of the Army. I own a hotrod shop in Louisiana. (Leesville/Ft. Polk area) My wife and I own several toys. She has a 79 Camaro with a 454 and a 73 Chevy pickup that soon will have a big block in it. I have a 77 SS Nova with a 402 and an M-20 4-speed. I also have a 68 Chevelle SS that I'm building a 496 for. I'm also going to pick up a 454 1 ton dually to tow our toys around.

Hello to everyone.

I am starting my first project. Attempting to restore a 66 SS. I may need some help and thought this may be a good place to start.:beers:

Old post, but it seems like it's hopping again, so i'll post...
30 yrs old. By day I sit in a 4x8 cubicle writing computer code, designing databases and being generally brain dead. Occationally they let me out to assist in an engineering project. By night I turn the wrench and spray primer on the Chevelle in hopes to one day drive it. Also have a 71' Camino (actually a Sprint) as a future project. 2 kids, 1 wife, 1 cat, 1 garage thats too small.

Age. 34.

Occupation. Auto Mechanic. At least for now.

Gotta jump in here - almost 40 - aak!! Married (first and only) to a great woman who tolerats all my sh$%$! with 2 girls under 4. I'm a Storage Consultant for most of the three letter agencies. Was a professional wrench that accidentally got into computers. Currently own a BBC powered 70 Chevelle and BBC 69 Camaro. I've owned corvettes, motorcycles and boats, - then had kids. Kept the important stuff! Wife, my girls, and my Chevelle (Camaro too!) I spend my time in the garage and scouring chevelles.com \ camaros.net at night when it's quiet (no girls screaming like stuck pigs) working on them in as my wife says "manland" for therapy. I spend time taking the girls to car shows and swap meets - hoping that I'll have little cuties that are gearheads (like Liz Miles features in Hot Rod!!!!!) - they spend time helping me change oil, doing tuneups, and best of all burnouts!!!

hey there,

50 in 2 months. own a small cheese factory in Canada. Have a 69 chevelle that just wants to go faster every year for the past 5. Only advise is if you think you may wanna go really fast (you catch cold easily) put that big motor in first. It costs stupidly more doin what I did.... Changing things yearly.
Good luck and have fun with it. Rejoice. Mid life crisis? This could be your pill.

I'm 32 and a recent transplant to NC from NJ. Divorced with a 2 year old son who says "Daddy go fast" when I take him for a spin in the Chevelle. I'm an Airline Pilot flying our troops and cargo around the globe. Daily ride is a 2002 BMW 330ic and currently have a 70 Chevelle I'm working on cloning into a SS 396 restomod which my ex insists will be his car when he hits 18 if I keep it that long!

Cheers

31, single, mechanical engineer. Currently in the aircraft industry designing jigs and fixtures. Mostly for the Airbus A380 wing assembly lately. My first car, 55 Cameo pickup street rod, chopped and dropped. Fun ride number two, 69 SS convertible currently restoring. Will eventually be of the pro touring type. Has a ways to go. Too many expensive hobbies. Motorcycle roadracing kind of interupts the chevelle fund on occasion(on a racetrack, not the street).

I build Dynamic Balancing machines for a living, and operate an industrial balancing shop.

My first Chevelle was a $225.00 '64 Camino in August of '74. Now I have 64, 65 and 66 Caminos, and 65 & 66 SS converts. I do my own restos and actually (gasp) drive the snot out of my Chevys-my '65 Camino has clocked 225K (and still wins some trophies), my '65 ragtop finally bit the dust 150K after the last resto, so it's off the frame now.

Just finishing on getting the permits for a 30x32 2 story garage, so the restoration rate may increase here in the next ew years-YAY!

62 years old, married 41 years, 2 children, 4 grandchildren. Last week I officially nicknamed my youngest grandson (2) "55 Chevy C Gasser". I will build him a plastic model of such a car this year. Maybe I can find him a T shirt somewhere that has this info on it. He saw the movie "Cars" and now thinks he is Lightning McQueen. Talk about a great start, he's only 2 and already he thinks he's a car.

Over this past years I have owned and modified a '68 and a '73 Corvette, as well as a 1970 Chevelle SS. All of these cars were sold to make way for the next one; I am now officially "in between cars".

Currently, I am looking for a second 1970 Chevelle that I can slowly modify into a mild pro touring street car. I searched all summer, but haven't found anything just yet in my region.

I live in CT and I am a CPA who specializes in schools. Many years back I was a B-52 navigator during the Viet Nam era.

19, single, all my money basically goes to school and my car. I work in the produce dept. of a local food store and have for the past few years, the produce manager is in his late 50's and a big car guy, currently redoing his hot rod but also owns about 4-5 other cars, his daughter drives a 1970 malibu.

I have a 1972 chevelle, details in signature, just got done doing a 4spd swap on it, best thing i've ever done.

Then custom vans. then Harley's. now 1970 Mailbu 350. I'am retired form General Motors. after 32.5 yrs. besides getting married & having 4 great kids. retiring was the best thing i've done lately.

Am a '53 model, married 31 years to the love of my life, living in Bentonville, AR. Have 2 children, daughter 24 living with her husband in Ames, IA (not sure I want to visit there in the wintertime) where he is attending Iowa State in a doctoral program. She is a graduate of the University of Arkansas with a bachelors in Chemistry. And a son, 21, who is a senior at the University of Arkansas.

Bought my '71 LS5 from a fella' in Riverside, CA who had inherited the car from his dad when he passed away. The car had been with him or his dad since it was purchased from Felix Chevrolet. Built in Van Nuys and remains mostly original. Wife was ready to kill me.....bought it sight unseen over the internet. I bought the car as a "project" for my son and I to work on when he was 12. Much cussing and discussing during those first couple of years must have made an impression because he will be getting a Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering at the end of December.

My name is Terry, married to my wonderful sweetheart for 16yrs. , 2 girls 15 and 10 and my pride and joy boy that is 26months. Live in Okarche, Oklahoma, work for Duke Energy Field Services as a Instrument & Electrical Technician. I'm just starting a ground up resto on a '70 Chevelle that I try to work on as much as possible, right now I'm building my body rotessirie so I can get to the frame and strip it down. :)

My name is Bob, I spent 6 1/2 years in the Air Force active duty. When I was in the Air Force I got a Bachelor's degree in Professional Aeronautics and am currently 5 classes from a Master's degree in Aviation Management. I work for FedEx Ground in Maryland as a Service Manager. I'm getting married July 1, 2007 . My plan is to work hard to have my garage full of old cars!!!

I'm 28. I am a CCTV designer for a Security Firm. I am married to a beautiful woman who is slowly understanding the bug that my father has firmly planted in my head as "hot rods". I anticipate new challanges ahead with the rebuilding of my 65 chevelle 2 door wagon, and its 427, i think, (see welcome forum i posted). That is why i joined this forum and gained its membership. By the way, if anyone living in the southwest suburbs of the twin cities MN area knows of a good and reasonable machine shop, I"m all ears.

Jeff here, 52 yrs old, electric power plant operator for the last 8 yrs. Got a '65 El camino project going (I posted an intro a little while ago).

I'm pushin' 40, have too many projects, not enough money or time to finish every one at the moment. Work at a Caterpillar dealer, engine shop. I tune up, repair, and rebuild Cat engines in the shop, in the field, and sometimes get to travel to small islands in the Pacific to do the same. It's tough work, sometimes. ;)

My name is ryan and I'm 29. I work for Ford Motor Company Chicago Hts. Stamping Plant. (I own 4 chevys no fords). I'm married with a 8 year old daughter. I'm thinking about taking the buy out that Ford is offering and go back to school for who knows what.

I'm 36, been married for 12 years. I have 2 boys, 8 and 5. I am a part owner of a machine shop specializing in oil field drilling equipment. I am also the head cnc programmer. I also own and opperate a small company making wheels,steering wheels, and specialty items for the custom auto and bike industry. http://www.billetaccessoriesdirect.com In my spare time (my wife would laugh at that) I am building a '66 Chevelle ragtop for myself and a '55 2dr post for my dad. I also recently bought a '75 Camaro (I know, but I had a '74 in hs and loved it) which is almost finished. My daily driver is a pretty nice F-150 that gets pop shots in magazine show coverage quiet often. In about 2 weeks the '55 goes to Michigan for suspension, and after that to Texas for paint. The 'vert is undergoing major surgery at the moment to fit the air ride suspension and 20's and 22's. Once that is done it will be off to paint as well. I have an addiction, and I try to fuel it daily! Oh yeah....my name is Jason.

I'm 31 years old and teach music in the Baltimore City Public School System. I've been married for seven years and have a 5 month old son at home! I enjoy working on my '71; right now I am involved in my first frame-off restoration. It will probably be on the road within the next five years...lol.

I'm 39, married 12 years, 2 kids (Anthony age 9, Ceci age 6), and I work for my father's company selling semiconductors and capacitors (www.tenfourltd.com and www.bdent.com)

I'm on my first restoration project, a 1970 malibu, which I plan on cloning to an SS (couldn't afford a real one, not did I want to wind up buying a fake, too hard to tell nowadays IMO)

Chasis is done along with suspension, 12 bolt rebuilt, tranny rebuilt...needs fuel/brake lines. Going to try and restore the interior myself. Will have the body work and paint done by a restoration shop near me. Also I am considering building up a nice 454 myself, we'll see what happens ;)

Hi all, I am 36 and have been an (honest) residential real estate appraiser for the past 16 yrs, I stated honest due to the fact that there are very few honest appraisers anymore, most are target or rubber stampers meaning they will get whatever value the broker needs to close the deal. This also means less work and broke most of the time but I value my integrity more than money.

I have been married for 14 yrs with two beautiful little girls Allie:6 and Adrie:4.

Have a good one:beers:
