Default Fresh Meat from VA!

Hey guys my name is Jordan i am from Colonial Heights VA. I am new to the LSX world, I currently own a 69 c10, 2 rx7's and slowly taking over my dads 66 c10 build. I am military and currently deployed, i am planning to make my 69 a lsx daily driver. I am also into small engines, i have (4) 2 stroke stand up jet skis, a quadzilla and a honda crf88 pit bike.

My job in the military is a "Machinery Tech" for the USCoast Guard, really i just work on big single turbo propulsion engines along with Cat turbo diesel generators.

Hola! wow more responses than I imagined. OF COURSE VA MEAT IS GOOD KNOWN FOR OUR HAM!!!! I think I am trying to pick up a 6.0 and build it up basic nothing too special.. I am from Colonial Heights, but my next unit is Yorktown so I will always be around the area. John J O, I will come check it out when I get back for sure. 1BAD98, I have been looking at realty in Gloucester, most likely thats where I will end up.

My aunts a realtor so if you need any help she could possibly help you out, just let me know . Gloucester is nice, not too much traffic and just enough stores to not need to cross the bridge to go to Hampton/Newport news etc...I need more LS enthusiasts in my area so come on over lol

Not just the ham but also the BBQ. It may be North Carolina style, but thats how we do it too!
