    Hello my friends. I am a new-comer to the board, and have only ever had Buicks as a family car. I am not new to building and loving cars, however. I built my first street cruiser in 1956! I have drag raced, road raced, and tried my hand at Bonneville and land speed racing. I acquired my current 1968 Skylark 350 in an un=planned and un-expected trade. That's not to say that I don't love it. I have always wanted a Chevelle SS and this is what I have heard is the "bankers Chevelle SS". I love it, at my age I am entitled to the extra luxury and try to tinker on the car as often as I can. It is a 350-4 with single exhaust (which I will remedy very soon). I look forward to ya'll for some help with building it. Oh yeah, I am a Texan.
