Hi Everybody,

I'm Matt and I live in St. Paul, MN. I've been a lurker here for a long time and finally decided (with a little help from XcYZ) to join in the fun. I just got rid of a Pro Street car, and would like to spend a little time in the Pro-Touring world. Currently, I have a Z/28 Convert that I have been building, as well as a 61 Impala Bubbletop that is crying for suspension, brakes, and a significant attitude and altitude adjustment. Great site!!!!

Welcome! I used to have a '61 Impala. Roman Red and Ermine White. I had a bored and stroked 409 under the hood, backed by a muncie 4-speed. Loved that thing!

How about a few pics?

Hey Maxharvard, I think I've seen you on a few local boards! Thanks for the welcome! PT442, sounds like you had a nice car! Mine had a 383 smallblock at one time with a Muncie. It was detuned last year with a fresh 350/350 combo, but I got the 4 speed with it. If I can figure out how to post pics, here is one as it sits (nosebleed height) and one pic of it photoshopped down low:

Yeah, it was cool. First frame off my father and I did... I miss that car. I still have a red carpet set for it in the basement. I should get rid of it one day! :)

I love the '61 cars. I never liked the fake convertible looking roof they put on the '62s.

Thanks again for the warm welcome, everybody! And yes, I do believe that this is about the greatest show on the internet....at least the greatest show that is safe for work!!! :unibrow: :lol:

Glad to hear there are so many Bubbletop fans out there! I had wanted one for along time and since this one was a body off car as well I couldn't pass it up.

Protouring442 how bout a pic or 2 of your old Impy?

Hi Randy,

Thanks again for the invite to SEMA! You and Todd have been kind enough to invite me for the last couple of years. I will definately try to make it next year. If the stories I have heard are true, sounds like you guys have an absolute blast. I would imagine that 'VACATION' Randy is just as fun to hang out with as 'HAULNSS' Randy!

Glad to be on this site as well!!!
