Default Noob from Kentucky, living in San Diego

Hey everyone, names Josh, I'm a full time student, single dad, and i work full time. I am a former Marine who was stationed here in SD, and now I am here until I finish college, then back to Kentucky. In the little bit of time i have to myself, I like to play with my Harley and my new toy, a 2001 Camaro SS Convertible. Its pretty much stock, just a set of lowering springs, flopro muffler, and a system. It is a 6 speed car, and has been used. Picked it up for a good price, and plan on restoring it to pristine condition. I also have a 68 C10 rat rod in Kentucky that has an LS1 with a 4L60E transmission and Howell Performance tune and magnaflow exhaust.

looks like we got a few people from KY on here. I'm not currently in KY, and the Camaro is with me out here in San Diego, but the 68 is still in KY.

Its nothing too crazy, the pictures show most of what has been done. It has a GTO intake with K&N filter, 4L60E tranny, Painless harness, Howell engine harness with their performance tune, magnaflow exhaust, 3.73 gears, tracbar suspension, disc brake conversion, and its going back in the shop to get the paint job redone. It will have "Ron and Josh's Hot Rod Shop" on the door and adding a cowl hood and flames on the inner fenderwells. Looking at going with a set of 20's in the near future. Nothing gaudy, just a set of Foose Nitrous or something simple but sharp.
