Hey guys

['02ta]

Hi everyone. I've been a long time lurker on here but never made an account until now. In high school I had a '71 Pontiac Lemans Sport and found this site because the pro-touring concept started getting some attention commercially back then. I saw Mark Stielow's '69 Camaro, Thrasher, in a magazine and hung the centerfold poster on my wall because I thought it was an awesome style to model my own build after. I found this website and instantly knew this was the crowd for me. Anyways after high school I went to college and had to sell the classic to buy a more practical vehicle...which I instatly modded to the point where it was a less practical vehicle then the Lemans. Once I sold that I bought my current vehicle, a 2002 ZO6. With the car payment that I have now I can't afford to mod the car at all and while it's a fantastic vehicle and a beastly performer, not being able to customize the car renders it useless in my eyes, so I've decided to sell the car to buy something a little more vintage. Once the car is sold I am looking at getting either a 68-72 Chevelle or a 70-72 GTO depending on what I find. Whatever I get will be low, loud and fast and I look foward to getting everyones advice, opinions and help on my upcoming build.

Regards,
Ryan

I'm at work but here's some pics of my previous rides (Lemans was pre-digital media for me lol)

Ended up getting a 1971 Pontiac Lemans Sport 350 4bbl. It's should be on its way to be delivered sometime in the next week. I can't wait until it gets here

The info on this site has already helped me out tremendously with deciding on suspension parts, wheels, tires, and engine mods. Pics of the car are forthcoming when the car arrives.

Welcome!!! Nice looking rides you had.
I currently have a '99 Hugger Orange SS with white leather that I probably will have to sell to build my pro-tour car as well. It will either be a '69 Camaro or a '70 Chevelle.
Good luck!

Nice lookin car Tones. Hugger Orange is an awesome color but good luck with getting your build started too.

No pictures of the car yet guys but I did start doing the build sketch for some inspiration. Here goes


Just a rough draft. It needs to be cleaned up and then some color.
