I've been lurking here for a long time, I thought it was time to join.

Some of you might know me from other boards.

I'm Don, I've been working on cars since the 60's. Worked for many years as a GM tech at dealerships.

I had a small performance shop that specialized in Chevy, but we did almost anything. I'm now "retired".

Anyway, my 2 cars now are a 67 RS/SS convertible and a 70 RS.

Here are a few pics of the 67.

(ZZ430 clone, Richmond 6-Speed, Martz "Road Race" subframe, coilovers, power rack and pinion, aluminum drive shaft, Currie 12-bolt with 3:73's, VB composite rear springs, Wilwoods, Borla, etc.)

And here are a few of the 70. http://www.flickr.com/photos/4670146...7623839446289/

Welcome to the site Don. I love the pic of the 67 with the needle pegged and the tach somewhere near 6k rpm.

Welcome Don...looks like a couple of clean f-bodies you have there.

My folks lived in Scottsdale...how does the weather compare in Payson?

Thanks for the welcome Jay, that pic is actually the last frame of a poor quality in-car video.

Thanks Skip.

Payson is about 75 miles NE of Scottsdale. We are at 5000 feet elevation on the "Rim", so it's usually about 10-15 degrees cooler here. It will snow from time to time, but it melts quickly.

It's been pretty nice lately with temps in the 60's.
