I didn't check all of the entries, but I am definitely on the old side for this group. I only saw 3 older than me. I am 57, married, five children, if you include my two son-in-laws. Four grand children. I'm a oil field equipment consultant. I am currently working on the interior of my 68 SS Clone with 454 and TH400. New kick panels and seat belts going in within a few days.

I am 40 years old.From a little town just west of Green Bay WI. Married for 11 years to my wonderful wife Amy. 3 kids Tanner(9) Amber(6) & Amanda(4). I am the Body shop manager at a local GM dealership. I have worked there for 21 years now ever since high school. I have had my 66 Malibu since high school. It has been neglected in recent years do to the kids, lack of money, and I am trying to get a custom painting business going onthe side. Its true your own is the last to get fixed when you do it for a living.:(

P.S. I love this post it is very interesting.

I am 30 years old, married with two girls, and I am an electronics/PC repair technician for Lockheed Martin. In my spare time I play guitar and work on my cars. I have 1970 Chevelle Malibu and, God forbid, a Mopar. A 2005 Dodge SRT-4.

Three weeks away from the big 6-O! Semi retired TV broadcast engineer and the original owner of a 70 Chevelle with over 675,000 miles on the clock. :thumbsup:

I'm 51 disabled from a stroke worked for the same company 26 yrs. as a painter, brazer, welder, machinist drove truck a couple years now I putz with my car collection my left side is weak so it makes it a struggle but it keeps me going

Well when this thread first started I had just joined TC, but never made a post on this thread...

Back then I was 17, still in high school driving the Chevelle around, and thought I wanted to turn wrenches for a living...

Now 24, State Trooper, was able to buy a house, but still single!!! funny how some things change... Also haven't had the Chevelle out since high school :( but that will change this summer..

I'm 25, and currently work as an Operations Manager for a home audio & video store in Vero Beach, FL.

I have officially owned a 71 Chevelle for 1 week! Its the first car I bought, and most people dont understand my obsession..They dont see why I would buy a project car that is "such a gas guzzler"...I dont see how anyone can drive most of these new cars that have no power/sound or personality

I plan on making the car my daily driver and a 454 SS clone...fully enjoying lots of power and sound... and scaring drivers of rice while I'm at idle

I've been here since 99 & have never posted here.
But I'm 52 & I make paper it's a dirty job but some has to do it.

I'm a 25 year old A&P mechanic. Been in the TN ANG for the past seven years. Married with two dogs. I love working on my 65 chevelle, playing my banjo, and brewing beer. I reside in Murfreesboro,TN.

I'm 40 and in the Coast Guard since '87. I'm currently assigned to the Marine Safety Unit in Huntington, WV. If you're wondering what the Coast Guard is doing in WV, in a nutshell, we maintain the safety and security of all commercial vessels and recreational boats on the Western Rivers.

Anyway, I'm still married to my first wife (15 years next month), no kids (other than me), some cats, and a bunch of cars and motorcycles. It keeps me out of trouble.

40's

I'm so old(66 1/2) that I don't remember if I've posted in this thread before or not........
Married for 36 years, 1 girl-29, 1 boy-26(former cam grinder at UltraDyne and then Crane). I work from home via computer, and can be reached at 662-301-1245.
I started full-time in cam design in 1974 with General Kinetics of Detroit, became Competition Cams' original cam designer, designing the High Energy series for them in 1977-78, started UltraDyne in 1980 at my friend Harvey Crane's urging. I had UltraDyne for 23 years until a series of unrelated events pushed us into bankruptcy. Went to work for Lunati, and designed the VooDoo series of cams for them. Working on Landis's in relation to developing the VooDoos got me my current job with Custom Camshaft Company, a division of Arrington Manufacturing, who does a lot of the Dodge engines in the NASCAR Truck series. They run my cams. I am attempting to develop Custom Camshaft Company into a regular full-service cam company, and it will be. I hope to keep working for at least the next 10 years, as I love cam design.
I also love all the great guys here on Team Chevelle. You have been a source of inspiration to me.

Holly crap! You're like the ultimate cam guy! I never realized you worked a few different companies for so long. That's awesome!

45, married, (2nd time) teach at a local business college, (computers and business) 2 boys at home, one girl moved out on her own, live in central MD; from upstate NY, wife is an Air Force brat, red hair temper to match (first one was also) her father still thinks he's in command, and is. Wife is a pharmacist. 3 dashunds that own the place, luckily I have a garage to hide in.


WOW, this thing has been going on forever. So long in fact that I guess we should be updating. This earlier post was submitted in 2000. :eek:

I have now passed the half century mark (couple years back). Still teaching at the same school, although we were "purchased" so now I teach for Kaplan College Hagerstown. I'm back in school taking on-line classes to upgrade my skills. Hoping to sit for the CPA exam eventually. Still married to the same wonderful woman. But if she doesn't stop over drawing the checking account and running up the credit card I just may kill her. Oldest son is on his 2nd tour in Iraq and married to the most horrible woman that his mother and I could have ever had nightmares about. Daughter is living in northeast PA working as a firefighter. Don't hear from her as often as I would like. Youngest son is the "failure to launch" child that is working on the 3rd year of his 2 year degree and playing video games 20 out of every 24 hours. And of course he chose not to go to the college I work for, no he couldn't do that he could have gone there for free. :angry: The only way that one will leave this house is if we sell it and don't leave a forwarding address. Father-in-law passed a couple years back. He had a back operation and never really recovered. After ending up in a chair the man gave up on life. One of the Dachshunds passed on Christmas eve two years back now. :sad:

I still hide in a garage but I've had so little "mad" money to work on the car that it hasn't changed much in three or so years. Good thing my two best friends have money, hot rods and garages so I can go over and help them with their projects. Or at least drink their beer. I still have a Christmas Elf phobia but I have recovered sufficiently that I can venture out on Christmas eve without suffering a panic attack. :D

46 years old, work as an attorney in California, trying to figure out how to pay for this disease called restoration and pay for private school for my step-daughters. First restoration project almost finished, a 75 BMW 2002, 2 liter, 9.8 to 1 compression, dual side draft 45 webers, 294 cam, 170 hp for a car that weighs less than a ton.:yes: Beginning a true 66 396(EF) SS with born with motor and rear-end.

I'm 43, single with no children, and a Fed-Ex courier in PA. I don't have enough spare time to enjoy all my hot rods, which includes 5 Chevelles. The current total resto project is a 65 El Camino and I'm thinking it may be my last. All you guys who do all your own work know how much work this is. I'd rather spend more time driving them than restoring them. But I'll tell you when someone admires your car and tells you how nice it is , it makes all those long days in the garage worth it.

Okay, I guess I can make this thread one longer!

49, no co-pilot. Was in radio for quite a while, then went to work for a transmitter manufacturer for 15 years; worked repair shop, technical publications/training and most recently marketing. While here finished my technical degree and will soon finish my MBA in Business. Will look for the best situation after graduation, whether be here or elsewhere (drop me a line if you know of a good situation).
Have three '71 Chevelles and my son has one '71. Daughter has a '78 T/A.

52, Ret. Welder/Fab ,divorced (but reunitied) ,30 YO daughter, 3 grand kids -they live near Lima OH.

31 years old.....married to a fine foxy redhead with freckles....have two sons.....one eight - still calls my chevelle "papa's (my deceased father) race car" to which I do not object.....also we only listen to oldies like papa did when we cruise and as far as he is conerned that is "race car music".....other son is almost 2 1/2.....one of the first times I took him for a ride he was sitting in his seat in the back and I heard him to say to his bubba (brother) "dis is aaaaawesome!" - had never heard him say awesome before. When its sunny and we're going somewhere he says "take race car daddy? the sound...the sound" I wish my dad, me, and my two boys could have had a chance to all ride together in person. I know he's with us every time we go, but I miss him. I'll never forget the summer night that my mother voicemailed me frantically excited, screaming something about dad blowing the doors off of a mach 1 mustang on 690 heading to the thruway to go home from the Syracuse Nationals. -Sorry that was irrelevant...just feeling reminiscent-

Anyways, I work for a Industrial Electric and Instrumentation Contractor down on the mighty mississipp' at Shell. Yeah, the V-Power hi-test my 72 guzzles is made just over the fence from where I am sitting right now, and is one of only 12 plants with a catalyst cracker that makes gasoline in the US.

Prior to wearing this hat, I was a chef for better than 10 years. Believe it or not, my first gig, at the age of 14 was flipping burgers in the concession stand at National Trails Raceway in Hebron, Ohio, outside Columbus, where the Pontiac-NHRA Spring Nationals used to be held.

If im not at school or working im usually messing around with one of my cars or hanging out with the friends.

I'm 46 living in the great State Of Texas. In the Insurance Business. About a year ago bought a 70 Chevelle SS (was hoping a true SS). In the middle of restoration. Got the build sheet off the gas tank and it is a true SS. It is out of paint and body work, 396 bored now 60 over, original 400 tranny. I'm looking at doing the wiring next and then interior. I've have looked at some excellent ideas of how to do things myself and save some coin on this website. This is my first car to restore.

49 disabled electrician with MS. served 25 years in the trade before being stricken with this. And believe me it sucks. Remember if you have your health you have everything. Take nothing for granted.
