well, been lurking a while and decided I best sign up. I am into the old nailheads, and old cars mostly, traditional style and not into billet stuff. I created my name from the fact I have a 63 Riviera with a supercharged 401 nailhead. It has an ATI Procharger set-up. I goit it from a friend that actually built it, but it has "opil pressure problems" so i have not actually ran it. I need to pull the engine and figure out what went wrong. I also have a 38 Chevy with a 454 (I know it's that other GM engine) street rod that I built. Has about 450 hp, drivetrain is a 700R4 and a 9-inch. It runs and drives great, needs paint and interior redone. I drive a 37 Chevy truck as my daily driver, it has just a stock 350 Chevy belly button engine and turbo 350 trans with 57 chevy rearend. Just a nice traditional hot rod truck. I also have a 68 GTO that I have had for 23 years, it is all original and stock. It needs new paint and vinyl top. Also have a 92 Chevy dually with a whipple supercharged 454, slammed on the ground, it runs 15.80's street trim. It sits at home mostly unless I need to haul stuff. Personal info: name is Terry, I'm 39 and am a metallurgical engineer. Work on nuclear weapons (really!). So if you have any metal or material questions, I am happy to help out. I'll try posting a picture of my blown nailhead below:
Super sweet Nailhead!!:TU: Welcome to the board:beer Glad to see more folks actually registering instead of leaching information without giving something back. Of course you already know this board is the place to be for all your questions and any information you might need for your Buick, and most other GM cars!
