Long time member, first time poster... kinda

[POS71RS]

I guess I'll introduce myself, since I'm a brand new 3 year veteran... lol.
I think it was actually longer ago that I first joined, but then the board changed and I haven't been on in ages.
My name's Mike, and I have a 71 RS Camaro and a 57 150 2 door sedan. Neither one is running now, but the Camaro is getting mutilated for a new quarter, tail panel, trunk drop off, and roof skin. Then I'll start getting into shaping the rest of it for paint.
The 57 is going nowhere fast. I stripped it down while I was still in HS and had to bounce it to storage facilities and even a street corner for storage for years before I got a home to properly store it in.

I've had the Camaro since I was 16 and the 57 since I was 17. They're both turning into 15+ year projects... I'm hoping to change that pace over this summer!

Welcome aboard, Mike.

Welcome aboard Mike, it's a great place to hang out and get some great info and help! BTW, does the POS in your user name stand for what I think it stands for

[syborg tt]

Welcome aboard - Odd we have both of these in our collection of cars.

Love the 57 and the 71 - great projects.

Just do yourself a favor. Put on in storage and forget about it till the other one is complete. That is unless your welathy and you can fund both projects at once.

Well, looks like you have a few more projects than your 57 and 2nd Gen! That's a great page though. Funny enough, I also enjoy mountain biking.. but not to the degree you appear to!

No... far from wealthy! I would actually rather work on the 57, but the Camaro is driveable, etc., so I told myself years ago that I wouldn't touch the 57 until the Camaro was painted and upholstered. (cause it will never be 'done'.)

Did someone say Mountain Biking - Let's ride. I am hitting brown County this week and Kettle Morain next weekend.

I agree with your thoughts on the camaro. If it drives do it first The 57 can wait

You in Wisconsin?

And do you have an album of the Camaro and the 57? I was getting lost in the truck buildup albums.

And the 32 Fords... very COOL!
