Skate And Destroy
Hello all,
My name's Greg, I just joined today, though I'd give a little introduction. I've been a Mopar guy for as long as I can remember. I started out with B-bodies. Some of the cars I've owned include a '67 Belvedere II with a warmed over 273 and a 1965 Belvedere I post car that I got about halfway through finishing and decided to sell. Along the way I also had a '72 W100 4x4 with a 360 and a 4 speed that was purple to boot.
For the last 3 years, I've been driving a 1965 Valiant 100, which is the one in my sig. pic. It's got a 225/904 drive line with the 7.25 rear. I recently rebuilt the entire underside of the car - front and rear suspension, converted to dual MC and disk brakes, new wheels and tires, new brake lines and a few other upgrades. It's also been converted to electronic ignition and has a new exhaust system from the downpipe back. It drives great and I drive it all the time.
As far as myself, I recently graduated from tech school to become an 'automotive technician', otherwise known as a mechanic. I was a printer for over 15 years and like a lot of people, I was unhappy with what I was doing. I had had enough and decided to pursue my passion, which has always been cars. I did pretty well at school and graduated with honors, for whatever that's worth. I also now have 2 ASE certifications under my belt (brakes, electric). I missed two others by one question each. I hope to get all 8 within the next few years once I've been out in the field for a while.
I'm also lucky to have a great family too. My wife Amy and I have a new son Jake and besides her, he's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.
So that';s about it. Been lurking for a while, seems to be a lot of good info on this board. Glad to be here.
