Default New member from Texas...

I already started posting and realized I haven't had a chance to introduce myself. I'm 21, from North Texas. But raised around cars, and a big "gear head" myself. Currently have a 72 olds cutlass (dads first car that was passed down to me), which is a project. And now he let's me tinker with his 70' olds 442 w-30. I owned a 93 z28 lt1 before, sold it and bought a dodge diesel (i no, i no). Now ive been glued to craigslist and auto trader to find me a ls1 (z,ss,t/a). Just awaiting that perfect deal.
Anyways, wanted to stop by and introduce myself.
By the way, love the site, a lot of helpful info here!
