New guy from Minnesota

[Derek69SS]

Scott, the owner of this site, invited me to join up here. I must say, i like it so-far. I live in Dexter, MN (pop 335) which is about half-way between Rochester and Austin. I work in Rochester as a Mechanical Drafter, doing HVAC design. I'm 22 years old, engaged to a woman named Jenna, and have way too many projects.


'69 Malibu - was a father/son project while I was in high-school, working in my Dad's body-shop. It currently has a very mild 400sbc, TH350, and 3.08 10-bolt posi, 4-wheel 11" discs.
I have a new chassis I'm building, which includes a '95 LT1/4L60. Front suspension will have height adjusters, adjustable shocks, adjustable upper control arms, tall ball-joints with 13" vette discs on drum-spindles. Rear will have spherical bearings at all 8 ends. I'm thinking 17x8 and 17x9.5 AR "Hopster's"


'69 Chevelle SS396 - true SS, NOM, no documentation. Currently in pieces with a rect. port 427 on the stand. I'm thinking Yenko Clone.


'95 Caprice Wagon - all the convenience of an SUV, the comfort of your living room couch, and the power and gas-mileage of an LT1 ...and I refuse to be seen in a mini-van
