Default newbe here

Hello all, I tried to post in the new members intro thread but found out it was closed,, so here goes,, My name is Bill, I live in The northwest,, Oregon to be exact, I own a street rod shop, and at the present time we are working on a couple of interesting projects,, a 1957 NASH Metro, front end being streched out 22", custom tube frame, and will be running a blown 502 BBC, this car was inspired by the hot wheels metro, another project is a 36 chev sedan street rod , all the common suspension stuff,, Mustang 2.type front susp, disc brakes,, rack and pinion steering, ford 9" with disc brakes,, the power will be by way of a 2001 LS1 / 460E, which brings me to this site,, I have not had a lot of experence with this motor and tranny combo, and probably be asking alot of stupid questions , so I hope you guys and girls can help me out,, after browsing this site a little, I have found a lot of great infromation,
I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone,, and hope that someone else out there is interested in the streetrod and hotrods as much as me,

Thanks for letting me join your group,, BILL AKA BADRAT
