Title: Better do an intro
Post by: ChevRon on March 27, 2016, 02:33:13 PM: Joined in 2014. Due to life getting in the way haven't been here much. TFoch reminded me of this site on another forum. Thanks. Full blooded Chevy guy having owned several and worked at GM Proving grounds. Working on 27 Chev coupster and next is 27 Chev coupe I've had since 1979. Also just sold 65 Chevelle convertible.
Spent most of my life in Phoenix. From Kansas in the beginning. Retired in 2015 after working for a gentleman in El Paso who owned 45 hot rods. Good to be on a forum with like minded guys. Ron

As I said over on the Hamb I love the metal work on your hotrod. I am glad you are gonna hang around here, and hopefully we can learn from you. If you have some early pic's of your build, it would be cool to see them.

TFoch Tom Thanks for your comments. One of my objectives was to build a Chevy roadster that would rival
a 32 you know what.
62131 Thank you
ED Thanks and thanks for getting me back on here.
ghost You are right. Forums are great way to get on with life. I remember your comments . Thanks. I don't know if you will learn much from me as much as I will learn from you and the guys on here. I just beat everything into submission then try to straighten it out. And I have plenty of build pictures so will post some.
vette Thanks Not much left here everybody found out and cleaned us out. Love the 32's and you are right 67 best year for Chevelles
FATnLOW Thank you appreciate it.
A lot more to talk about. Look forward to spending time on here. Thanks again

Post by: ChevRon on March 28, 2016, 12:22:09 AM: Sixball --That's the guy who did alot and the guy in Santa Rosa. I'll round up some pictures of the body for you. Ron

Post by: madmike3435 on March 28, 2016, 11:11:24 AM: From the looks of that Chevrolet ?? front axle its been dropped 5"..........very trick and got ya down in the weeds. Big headlights finish the look fantastically.

A pair of aluminum ""frameless"" windshield posts would definitely suit the roadster. Glass slides into slots milled in the aluminum and there is no windshield frame.

Post by: ChevRon on March 28, 2016, 06:34:13 PM: Munch Thanks I noticed that is a great bunch of guys here.
Sammons Thanks
vette I lived in Chandler Know a lot of Corvette guys. Actually worked with Scott Leon (Corvette Engineer) at GM
madmike Chevy pickup axle heavily modified and I think it was right at 5". Get into more detail later.
Windshield has been a problem but am leaning to exactly what you suggested . Thanks

That's a nice pair of 27 Chevies you have.

I'm currently Chevyless, so I tag along, and watch what you all are building.
