Welcome to Steve's. Ask all the questions you want. It sounds like you have had a lot of fun with your cars over the years. Cars are what keep us young I think.

[DANNO]

Sounds like a great car. How about a pic?:D

Which auto line did you work? That's got to be some of the best places to work, if one is a car-guy.

Pleased to meet you. No, I am NOT Him:devil:, nor would want to be, but I felt I could continue the Rolling Stone's song line...:D

Hi Robert, Billy here from NY. Welcome to the site. Your gonna have a great time here. Also, my other car is an Olds Cutlass Supreme 1986. After you settle in to Steve's, I would like to pick your brain on just a couple of things about the 307 I have. Whenever its good for you of course. Lets see some pics please. Billy.

[DCPierce]

Welcome Robert. We have a couple of things in common. I lived on Lake Victoria from '79 to '84. Also, I was born, raised, and retired from the Lansing Craft Centre. It was the "Forge Plant" when I started but converted to assemble the Buick Reatta, GM's EV1, the Cavalier and Sunfire (which you guys painted), The Eldorado, and finally the Chevy SSR.

Again, welcome,

Don

Hi gang! My name is Dane and I hail from Hudsonville, Michigan. I am 45 yrs old and divorced. I recently started to see the most incredible woman in the world! Her name is Mina and she herself owns a 1967 sport coupe. It has a 350 in it with 350 trans. Headers and flowmaster exhaust. It is a beautiful car! I am so excited to go cruisin with her to shows and stuff! She likes to wrench on the car and is very proud to own it! Myself? I have a 1963 SS with a 275HP inline six. We (my dad and I) bought it in Indy 2006. It was stock at the time. 194 and powerglide, open rearend. We took out the front suspension and bolted in a CPP mini sub kit and 2" drop suspension kit. We installed a narrowed 8.8 posi rear. We have disc brakes all the way around. We have a prepped 700R4 with a 3500 stall 10" converter, Lokar shifter assembly. Aluminum driveshaft from a aerostar van. The body has not been touched and we are going to refurbish the trim this year! The car is fun to drive and the looks we get from the six is great! Also I have 2 daughters, 20 and 18 that are my pride and joy too! I spoke to some of you guys already and I am honored to be involved with you guys! Thanks again! Dane
