Hello everyone, I'm a newbie here

[Hognuts]

I was sent here by friend of mine to pick up some knowledge/ideas from some of y'all.

I am a diesel mechanic by trade, I run my own business here in Vegas repairing heavy equipment in the field. I have always had a love for old cars.

I have a '57 Chevy 210, 2 door post, black with flames. It has a Goodwrench 350 longblock with Edelbrock carb and intake. Saginaw 4-speed. 3:73 gears.

I have a '64 Vette with a ZZ1 crate motor 355 hp 350, Muncie M-21 close ratio 4 speed, 4:11's, posi, radio delete,power steering, power windows, 4 wheel disc brakes.

I'm on my phone, will have to get on my laptop to see if I can figure out how to put pics up.

Welcome Hog! What are your plans for those two incredible cars you have there?
Lots of knowledge here, combined with a true sense of community.
You will love it here!

I don't have any "big plans" for them right now. I am going to rebuild the trans on my 57, fab a cross-member, replace some bushings up front, replace a sending unit for fuel tank. Reseal everything on engine (been setting awhile/one broken exhaust bolt), possibly relocate rear springs inside the frame to put some larger rubber back there.

The Vette just needs a few leaks repaired, and I'm gonna put a little more rubber on the road when it's time for tires.

Just like to see what other guys are doing. Get more "bad ideas" for my bank account! :)

Welcome to the site. Nice cars!

[Hognuts]

Thank you sir, I am still looking around at all the amazing stuff on here! WOW! There is some talent on this site! Amazing rides!

Welcome to the forums.
Love that '57 210, always wanted one, and even better that shes black and flamed. Also digging that 'Vette, don't see many around where we are that clean of a shape or in general for that matter.

[Hognuts]

Thank you. Yea, all of them are getting harder to come by these days! I'm constantly turning down offers for the Vette. Someone would have to come up with a pretty stupid amount of cash to separate me from that car! :-)

I am enjoying parusing through the project pics, some pretty impressive rides in here!

Welcome!! :welcome3: I love that 'vette...

[Hognuts]

Thank you all. Nothing new to report, put a new door latch on driver's door of Vette the other day. Going to rebuild the Saginaw in the 57 and install a cross-member. Have a new poly bushing kit to install on front -end. Going to pull engine out and reseal/freshen her up a bit.

Once that project is done I have plans for a front 2" drop spindle/Wilwood disc brake conversion, updated tubular control arms, and adjustable coilovers.

When that's done I want to relocate my springs inside the frame in the rear so I can run a wider tire. Would also like to upgrade to the Wilwood disc brakes back there too.

Plan on attacking it slowly so I don't brake the bank.
