Hi all,

My name is Herb and I've been a lat-g member/lurker since 2008. I haven't posted much in that time so I figured I should introduce myself before I jump into the threads.

I was in the Coast Guard for 24 years, retired in 2012, and immediately started working at Ridetech as the shock specialist.

I'm in the process of building a 40x48 shop behind my house. Once that's done I can get back to work on my '63 C10. I also have a '66 El Camino that need's an engine refresh and after that, my '66 Chevelle will get completely revamped with a chassis update and aluminum 509.

I look forward to actually participating on lat-g!

Thanks Herb, it'll be good to have you sharing your knowledge. :cheers:

Looking forward to your journey Herb. :thumbsup:

Are you the guy to talk valving mods with?

Thanks, I'll share what I can!

Thanks! Yes I can help with valve code changes.

Welcome, Herb.

Welcome Herb. I have always loved your blue 66! :cheers:

'bout time Herb! Post up some pics of your current project :cheers:

Have a super Semper day!

Welcome.

Since I have more than one project in the works, I'll list them in the order they're being tackled. First is the 40x48 pole barn, 16' ceiling, radiant floor heat, 2 post lift, etc, etc. It's almost done!

Next is the C10... full Ridetech air suspension, 454, 4L80, Moser 12 bolt, 4 wheel discs, Vintage Air.

Getting busy in the El Camino at Summit Point... we've had this ol girl since '97. 454, TKO-600, Currie 9", Baer brakes, Vintage Air. It will probably get bumped ahead of the C10 since I just need to refresh the engine. I should be able to have it up and running soon.

And finally the Chevelle looking all mean and nasty... Currently a 454 but an all aluminum 509 is on a cart waiting its turn, TKO-600 (until it breaks), Fab 9 rear, Baer brakes, and there's also a Scott Mock front clip on a cart waiting to be grafted to a bare '66 chassis I have. Oh, and this one has no creature comforts.

And finally, the '65 more door, or as I refer to it, the crew cab Chevelle. 283, PG, 10-bolt. No plans for it at the moment.

Thanks and you have a Semper day as well!
