Hello everybody,
It's good to have a website dedicated to old Chevy's.
I come from a circle track racing background, and it's time to build a hotrod that I won't have to take apart every week. The car I am currently building is a '34 chevy standard 3-window coupe. It will be done as a 60's drag car (full hood, no fenders), and I plan on doing alot of nostalgia drag events. My car is in the mockup stages right now, with a 396 with lots of engine setback, and a 700r to make it streetable and still be able to have a racing gear in the 9" Currie rear. No chop and a 5" channel.
Thanks for listening, and I hope to meet some of you as I try to attend most of the traditional hot rod shows
in New England. Will post pictures if I ever figure out how to.

Hello Wayne
Good to see another Nutmegger here. A friend of mine spends most of his life at Stafford Springs and Lebanon Valley but all that round-d-round makes me dizzy 8) I'm looking forward to seeing those pictures.

Don,
I was there last year. Best show of the year! Nice to see these cars in action.
My car won't be ready for this year, maybe next. I want to enjoy this build and get it right.
Like I am always telling my son, the difference between a job and a hobby is having a deadline.
