Not sure where youre supposed to do an intro, or if you guys even do that stuff, but most of the boards I visit have an un-written rule, so here goes.
The names Chris, Im mainly into hotrods and I own several of them.
First car was a valiant, second one a genuine LC GTR which is one of only 2 cars I regret ever selling, the other a HR wagon as it turned out to be Lionel Rose' old car. When I bought the LC way back in the early 1980's it was all stock and original, but it didnt take long for the mods to start. I ended up with a 3-73 blown 202 in it and boy did that thing boogie, but as per usual the early torries were not known for their handling, so I sold it to finance a Group C Commodore and went racing. Done that for quite a few years including engine development and suspension tuning etc, and I still own the roundy to this day.
Youve probably gathered by now that I have vast experience in building and modifying all types of vehicles. If I can be of any assistance just ask, I dont mind sharing my knowledge if I can, but if you make an ass of yourself to me dont expect a sensible reply.
I can be very blunt at times, and call a spade a spade. You'll always know what Im thinking coz I'll tell you.
Anyway, back to the interesting stuff.

Welcome Hotrodder to our humble domain, first thing i wana apologize for being as ass in the black torana aircon thread its just i felt you came accross like an asshole.. But its all water off a ducks back as you said your self..
A very good mate is into hotrods and so is all his family, you probly know of them his dad has two green ESSEX rods ones a coupe and ones a sedan i think and one of the uncles has a 34 chev(yello).. I can honestly say theres alot more involved in building a nice custom rod then it is say a torana, you guys think torana parts are hard to find...
Anyway welcome abord and look forward to chating with you
John
