introduction

I have been a lurker for a while and wanted to introduce myself. I am Brandon and I am in Bakersfield ca and am working on a 1948 chevy. I have a few pics in my album and am still trying to figure out the avatar thing. You guys have been helpful in my build and just wanted to start communicating with the group. If i did it right this is a pic of my truck when I got it and the most current pic on my computer. It is a little further a long but havent uploaded any pics lately. Name:  102_5524.jpg

All I have done to the exterior is wash it with soap and rouged out a dent.

Re: introduction

So far the truck has a fatman m2, welder series tri 4 link, coker silvertown radials, tci undercab booster, and slam bags. I have a 350sbc and 700r that I plan on putting in it. I have gambino motor mounts and a classic trucks tranny mt. I was planning on doing the frame off build and have it sport the original color with all chrome in tact. My plans are changing do to my third kid in the oven. I now plan on getting it going and sporting the patina or bare metal for the summer and get back on it when things settle down from the newborn. I took a body class at sunchaser in pasadena so I will be working on the body here and there until the next tear down. So as of now the plans are to button up the frame work, install motor and tranny, install accuair or ridetech air management, install auto wire harness, and drive. Easier said than done.
