23 I work in the bar of a Casino which monopolizes most of my usable time(work night shift, sleep during the day). On the other hand Bartending with benefits isn't a bad gig :D

40 and the owner of a sheet metal business. Have two boys and 1 girl all the age of 8. One of the boys loves cars and can't wait to start fixing up his own. Married for 16 yrs. to a great woman who doesn't care how much I spend on the car. Oh, also own a 69 chevelle ss396 and looking for a 64 for the wife.

20 Currently unemployeed, worked alot of security :thumbsup:

I'm 46 (single) I've been a gearhead since the 70's...I'm an electrician currently gainfully un-employed. I got back from my last job in July of 06, I worked a year in Iraq at LSA Anaconda. I'm pretty much an expat these day's "when I work" its overseas 7 - 12's a week & when I play its also 7 - 12's a week.
I've lost count on how many of these projects I've done, but I needed something to haul my scooter, & I've always liked El Caminos. I'm currently riding my second VTX 1800 cruiser, this 1 is tricked & custom while my dyna wide glide sits in the garage...lol

Well, I probably answered this about 32 pages ago, but here we go...Im 54, married (second time) to a wonderful wife who is also a car freak. I am self employed for 11 years now, after a 15 year stint with Federal Express. I am a tub, sink and tile refinisher. I also do repairs on acrylic and fiberglass tubs, and am a rep. for Jacuzzi. Like that's not enough, I also repair work for two supermarket chains, and two restaurant chains in the northeast. General repairs..Floor repairs, ceilings, painting, carpentry, welding, door repairs, etc. And I contract out my services to help with installations and repairs of trash compactors and cardboard bailers for a few companys. Just did a new Lowes last Wednesday, working with a guy out of NYC area. When I can find the time, mostly in the spring and fall, I teach Stained Glass and hot glass working classes at a local high school or community college. That's very time consuming though, and I havn't done a class in the last two years. That's it.

OK, I'm 60........own my third 66 Chevelle.........it's close to done. I am a Hearing Aid Dispenser, and own my own practice for over 20 years. That's what I do for a living, but I enjoy volunteer work as much as playing in my shop. This year I got to go to Guadalaja, MX for a week, helping 800 kids hear better, and next year I get to go to Mexico City and Nicaragua and do the same. I also volunteer with the Flying Samaritans, so you can understand why I can't get as much done in the shop as I want to sometimes. It'll get better when I retire!

Im 32 and work as a Ford tech. for the last 9 years and was a t.v. repairman before that.I am currently looking for a different job.I have 2 kids that take up most of my time but when I have time I work on my cars,a 67 chevelle wagon ,67 2dr malibu ,69 chevelle, 55 chevy and 57 chevy along with 10 other projects tha I will never get to.

I'm 37, married for 10 yrs, have two boys (5 and 2), spent 9 yrs in the Navy. Currently work as a control room supervisor in a nuclear power plant. Just got my first Chevelle last november...was a Pontiac Firebird and Ford Mustang guy until now. Other than being a dad, nothing beats cruising in a big block muscle car while listening to 80's big hair bands.

Vince
'66 SS clone

I'm 31 and live in France. Work for the Army in Germany. Got my Chevelle whilst I was going to college in Tampa, Florida. Studied in the states for 7 years, and I think I put 5 years worth of research into deciding which muscle car I wanted.

42,married for 15 yrs,one 14 year old son, currently own an original paint AA tuxedo black 66 L78 & triple black Canadian 65 ss convertible.Been a gearhead since I was 10 yrs old. Work for Chrysler as a wood pattern maker.Drive a 69 Sport fury 2 door hardtop everyday to work. Definately OLD SCHOOL & just love wrenchin!!!

I'm 29 years old. I have been working for the US Coast Guard for the past 10 years now. I am an IT manager in San Diego, and have been here for a little over a year. I have owned my 65 Chevelle since 1994. It is my high school sweet heart. I cruised around with Big Red almost every day for the past 12 years. I drove him across the country twice. Once when I got stationed in Baltimore and then again when I drove him back home to my parents place in Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles county. While I was in Baltimore I drove up and down the Eastern Seaboard 4 times. When I left Baltimore I got stationed in Seattle. I took him as far up as Whister B.C. He has been up and down the West Coast 4 times. Sadly the 4th time I took him down I had him on a trailer. He now sits at my parents place and I am currently restoring him. I just picked up my new engine block the other day. Now I have to find the right stroker kit to build it. I am doing a 383 and am hoping to be putting at least 400 HP to the tires. 400 is bare minimum for me. When it is completed it will be carb'ed. Eventually I am going to throw that edelbrock EFI system on it. I just wish the military paid more than it did. Oh' well though. You guys and your/my freedoms are well worth it in my eyes. Semper Paratus.

Hello, my name is Francis and I'm a 59 year old carburator head. I'm a tired HVAC engineer. I mean a retired HVAC engineer from the County of Orange. Currently assembling a Megasquirt DFI CPU for my Mini Big Block 454.
I think it should be something like this:
Up to 500 cubic inches = Small Big Block Chevy (SBBC)
501 to 600 cubic inches = Medium Big Block Chevy (MBBC)
601 to infinity = Big Big Block Chevy (BBBC)
Another idea is to specify the block in Quarts insted of cubic inches or Liters
Since 1 liter = 1.057 Quarts
Exanple: 7.4 liter would become 7.819 Quarts
8.1 Liter would become 8.55 Quarts
I just love working on my Corvettes that have metric size hex heads with USNF threads. One metric nation under god.:noway:

It's not the pace of live that scares me... it's the sudden stop at the end.

I am 26, Single in Vegas (only way to be):thumbsup:

I am a network administrator for a publishing company in vegas, I do upholstery on the weekends and turn wrenches for fun too. I play guitar when there is nothing to work on....

65 El Camino, 350 ci, 350 tranny (soon to be a muncie 4sp) 3.08 posi rear

27 and *kind of* single

Vehicle Repair Manager for Enterprise here in Houston! :D

47, married, 4 children, police officer.

29 years old, married to my beautiful wife of 2 years, 3 kids and one on the way.

I'm a computer software engineer and own my own business doing custom software development and websites, http://www.n-kahootz.com

I drive a 1971 Chevelle and my wife drives a 2005 Lincoln Navigator (yeah, I'm the lucky one!!!)

33 years old, bachelor degree in combined social sciences from youngstown state university. That is where jim tressel coached before ohio state. Landed a killer job out of college that moved me to the other side of US in kingman Arizona then the parent company sold the steel division and out we all went 6 months later. Been a social worker since then but recently quit because social work is not my gig. ( underpaid ) So I am looking for something to build a relatively good life and career. I also do some consulting work for the timeshare industry. Not my cup of tea either but pays the bills. Don't want to go back to school. But it looks that way. ANyway I have a # matching 68 SS chevelle, 68 SS Camaro. Just sold my other car. A numbers matching 70 GTO. The bodyshop botched the paint really bad. SO instead of killing the body shop I sold it. Out of sight out of mind really works. It actually ended up in canton Ohio which is just 45 minutes west of where I grew up. ANyway I love old cars and old car parts. I wish I knew more. But its funny how your knowedge increases every step of the way and how jobs that took 1 1/2 hours now take 25 minutes. I have a wife that is awesome and 2 step kids. One Girl and one boy. Three cats. Two females Mia and Patches. One male named ODB( Old Dirty Bastard ) he smoked to much green stuff as a kitten ( Thanks to my step son and his friends) now he has asthma and weighs over 25lbs and does not clean himself. In a way its funny because he like a lazy pot head in cat form . Not funny money wise though this cat cost me about 4k when his asthma appeared. Damn step kids! Well you know the whole story now. This site is great and has been extremely helpful. Thanks again everyone.

18, go to a local community college and have a lawn mowing business, funding for my first Chevelle.:thumbsup:

I love classic Chevy's, my husband has a 63 Impala SS. So we share the hobby, but I get it from my Dad! Saw the post about the Navy....I was in the Marines, Semper Fi!

I'm 52 (I know most women won't admit their age, but I don't feel it). Was married for 30 years, have 3 sons, 26, 24 (who have finally graduated college and can support themselves) and the youngest still lives with me while he is in school. He's 19 and a gearhead, I think that's better than being a doctor. I'm a clerk at a court and it is quite an interesting job. I've had my malibu for almost 7 years and love cruisin' in it. This year before I go to chevellabration I need to get the wiper motor and heating system redone. I have it already to start working on in 2 days. It's just to cold here in the winter.

I was going to read all of the posts before I hopped on, but when I got to page 12, I figured I'd never make it to the end! So here goes;

I just turned 24 and work for Weis Markets as a Graphic Designer. I'm single, but I have a cat and a '72 Chevelle in Hugger Orange, so it's all good.

My dad is a mechanic (yay for me!) He owns a Navy '31 Chevy Coupe, a Yellow '32 Ford Hot Rod with a Chevy Engine :) (It looks just like Milner's) and a Red '57 Chevy Bel Air. My dad has mostly been working on my car, since I don't know much about mechanics, though he did let me change the taillights and bulbs the other day and fasten the mirror, lol.

He keeps saying my car is "too much of a guy car" for me, but I think he just wants to keep it for himself. :p

Well I figured this would be a good first post. Im 24 and Im a mechanic. I have a 72" Chevelle with a 505 and a little juice to go with it.

Hey Willthom, about half my family lives in Murfreesboro, ole Mt. Juliet boy myself.

Hi my name is Jared, and I am 28. I am a delivery driver for Papa John's, but not forever. I am trying to become a police officer, and i have a 69 Chevelle Malibu that i am going to restore to stock Specs.

I'm a Marine and 36 years old. My Chevelle in my link below is my first Chevelle and hopefully not my last.

I am 56, married, 1 boy 1 girl. I am a Duck huntin, Bass fishing nut. I own an automotive repair shop in Decatur, Ga. I specialize in A/C. I am fixing 2 '71 chevelles and a '72 Buick centurian this week. My son 23 and his college roomate did a frame off resto on a '67 chevelle. I enjoyed assisting.

i am 16 and i work at the ups store

I’ll add 1 for the older crowd here.
Just turned 59, married for 32 yrs, 2 sons, 1 granddaughter with another grandchild on the way. My wife and I are retired from a 3M, main reason being, we had the numbers (age and years of service) to get our pensions and wanted a change. I worked in plant engineering and held jobs ranging from maintaining equipment to being the site maintenance planner-scheduler.
I was an Army helicopter crew chief in Vietnam, 68-69, with the 1st Infantry Division. Got my 70SS the day after I returned from Nam, and still have it.
We live on and operate a smaller grain/vegetable farm that has been in the family since it was homesteaded by my great-grandfather 125 years ago. Now, I do seasonal part time jobs ranging from helping a CPA with income tax work, to running a pea harvester for Del Monte Corp in the summer. So, any Del Monte peas and sweetcorn you eat may have been grown on my farm or could have been harvested by me.
We enjoy traveling, and have been doing various types of camping/RV’ing since married, currently with a 30’ travel trailer. And, I have had motorcycles since high school, but haven’t driven for a while. Last year we got a Honda Gold Wing, and are back into biking. Number 2 son built a custom bike that has parts spread out across the country for chroming and painting now, but should be finished this summer. http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/3999/p8020269gm0.jpg

I'm 40, married for 16 yrs., have 8 yr. old triplets. Great kids but only one loves cars. Own a remodeling company for 15 yrs. (seems boring compared to most of you :boring: ) Own a 69 ss396 that never seems to be the way I like it:thumbsup:

I'll be 36 in 5 days. Married (14 years) with 9 year old twin girls. I am a motor car repairman (mechanic) for the railroad.

I'm 26 and a design engineering in detroit. I've got a '68 numbers matching coupe. Numbers match the summit catalog that is.

26, got a 71 SS I bought when I was 15.

Hey Willthom, about half my family lives in Murfreesboro, ole Mt. Juliet boy myself.

Hey yourself!

Mt Juliet and The Boro are pretty cool places. I just moved here 8 years ago (I grew up in Los Angeles and waaaaay out in the middle of nowhere TN), but I dig it around here.

:beers:

Well this post is very old. I forgot if I posted in this one several years ago or not. I will be 40 this month and have been married for seventeen years in June plus I have 3 young guns. Son is 12, Daughter's are 10 and 4.

Worked as a factory rat for about 20 years until I found out factories are not the place to be employed for making steady living anymore. I am now a Building Mechanic taking care of a communication giant's buildings as far as making sure phone equipment (switches) stays a cool 65-72 degrees, making sure everyone has running water, making sure you can see at your job as far as lighting and every other problem that comes up.

I have owned several Chevelles and have owned the one I have now since 1995 and I do work on it every now and then. Hopefully have her painted by the end of the summer. That is my goal. I don't want to install the drivetrain right now because I will start driving it and not worry about the paint like my last 3 Chevelles.

56, two grown kids, I'm an empty nester. Have a 66 Couple, bought it three years ago. My second "66 coupe. First one was in the late "60. I wore it out going back and forth to school (and midwest rust also took its toll). I am the GM of a wholly owned pubically owned company. Wife of 34 years will only go out in the car with ear plugs or new mufflers. I drive it alone alot.

18 here, been a tire buster for a few years, now im goin to school full time for my first year mechanic apprenticeship. Been "working" on cars with my dad since i was about 10 years old.

Hi gang
It's been awhile since I last posted I'm 62 yrs young and I've been married 41 yrs to the sweetest thimg this side of heaven.we're still acting like teenagers.we have three sons,40,35,and 30.[three grandchildren]
I'm the proverbial jack of all trades and master of none.I've worked as a carpenter,millwright,rigger,mechanic,welder,equip operator,truck driverand salesman.Itrained as a lab tech and worked 12 yrs in a plastics lab ,I was manager the last 6 yrs.Then I quit and bought a dump truck.I trucked on my own [ log trucks reefer,flat bed].In 94 I sold my equipment and started
a fiberglass shop making pickup caps etc.I lost my shirt at that and sold out in 97.since then I've worked 4-5 months a year in western Canada driving truck.I just returned from a 2 month stint hauling explosives up to some diamond mines in the arctic,over the frozen lakes.I'm not very wealthy but I enjoyed every job I had.Life is too short to be stuck in a rut.

Thanks for listening

Dated my first love @ I.U.P. in the late 80's....... town and folks were great.

43 Tech at F*RD dealership. Working on ASE Master.

Wow, what an enlightening post!! I'm 59 still looking for something to do when I grow up!! My 68 SS396 is a duplicate of the one I bought new as an Enginering student at the University of Nebraska. From looking at most of your ages, most of you were not born during the late 60's and early 70's when muscle cars were king. What an wonderful time! At the little bar that I used to hang out in the summertime, there was so much horsepower parked out on the street, it was mind-boggling!! SS396's, a GTO JUdge, A six-pack GTX, a hemi roadrunner, a 413 wedge Belvedere, a 440 Charger, a Z-28 Camaro, all in a town of 1100!! Consequently, there was a little street racing going on. After graduation and a 5 year gig working as an Engineer for the Coors Brewing Co, I came back to the Family farm in Western Nebraska. Retired from that and now sell Farm and Ranch Real Estate. Somewhere in all this rambling there is a point to be made. The point being that it is gratifying that so many of you in the younger generations are here to carry on this wonderful hobby and preserve these fantastic cars. My hat is off to you!!

Cheeers

I'm 58 and have Snap-on tools older than a lot of you. HA! I'm a stationary engineer for Ford Motor (means I sit around a lot). Just got back into muscle cars 3 years ago when I sold my Vette and bought a '65 Velle. I've never had so much fun laying on my back! Forgot how good cardboard can feel, just have to take more pain meds now. I grew up in Detroit in the 60's and street raced on Woodward and Telegraph, with all the "true" muscle cars. What good memories from those days. Maybe you all have heard about our "little" cruise on Woodward, in August? we have 40,000 muscle cars and 1 and 1/2 MILLION people show up. Quite a site for us old racers. Go look up our cruise, several sites for it on line. Good luck to all of you.

I'm 47, married 17 years this summer, one wife, two boys, ages 11 and 9. The morning I purchased my Chevelle on Ebay, my wife came down and handed me a greeting card. I got "What's this?" out of my mouth before I remembered it was our 15th wedding anniversary. She was thrilled, to say the least. She tolerates the Chevelle. Luckily, she took to calling my computer "the other woman" some years back, so she doesn't rag on the Chevelle too much. ...but then I've only just begun to spend money on it.

I spent 12-ish years as a respiratory therapist, went back to school and completed a degree in computer science. I've been a medical terminology engineer (whatever that is) for the past year. I really miss those double-time shifts at the hospital! I've had to scale back my Chevelle plans now that I'm salaried. :-( Working 5 days a week really stinks.

53, married 30 years, 2 kids. I seem to spend my weekends working on my cars. (is that wrong?). Still have my first car, 68 Camaro SS Convertible. Never sold it because I still like it. See you at the beach Sunday morning.
