alright, I am steve and I hail from south west Michigan ( between kalamazoo and benten harbor) my home town ( which is a mile up the road) is just a mile square and the most that was there, was a small general store, an even smaller post office, and my dads place! not kidding he was the only other business in town. he was a mechanic and wrecker service and was originally a farm boy. so yah, we tend to do things the less conventional way! and we love it!
he is old school poncho and well I like them all! I can get into most types of cars/trucks/bikes/creations and appreciate the work that goes into something like this and the pride that people carry.. I am a little bias on some things and it is just my opinion but that is why I love this country, because just as much as the owner loves it , I have the freedom to disagree!! and there is not too much on the list really.. cambered out anything but a real racecar, stretched tires on most things ( the biggest offenders are the over cambered cars and this new fad of pickups with 35' tires and 20x15 wheels that are stretched and stick way out..uggh. ) but as long as it don't pose a safety hazard to me or others sharing the road then I just shake my head and keep going!
I get into well just about anything! I could be here all day with what I have had and done, but I will make it short with I have my first car still, a 1972 LeMans that I drove in high school ( about 1996, yah I am not that old.. ) and intend to start getting her back on the road, because.. it is about darn time! my current projects are.. ( and this is a shorter list than normal!)
2002 1500 avalanche - daily driver/work horse not too much, but have a few lights and other do dads I am fussing with
2002 40th grand prix gtp - wifes daily, mostly visual mods
1972 LeMans - my first car and soon to be under construction
1968 Jeep Waggoner - cruiser/offroad lifted to clear H1 wheels tires ( 37'' dual beadlock) on d60/14ff with 9.25/1 455 Pontiac th400 np205, caddy seats
2001 Cherokee wife/shared dedicated offroad toy 3'' 35's warn 9.5ti locked/welded, getting custom long arms and half ton dodge axles
1991 Camaro - wifes summer car. has 305/700r4 open 2.73 and is getting 9:1 355 fresh 700r4 with shift kit, 3.73 posi
1989 gl1500 Goldwing my decent/good weather transportation, lighting upgrades (led pod lights, projector/hid retro) darkside (rear car tire) trailers in works
2007 Yamaha FZ6 - wifes other summer toy. mostly visual/lighting and pipes
I have had as many as 4 grand prix at one time, drive 1-3 and have 1-2 for winter beaters and have parted/scraped many many more. have also had 2-4 jeeps same way. I do a lot of buy 2-4 (usually 1-2 at a time) and make one to keep or sell and part scrap the rest. this gives me what I want and usually make a little or break even to do so. I do buy/fix/sell some too..
anyway if figure I will make this my little project thread ( did this in another board, that is now shut down, and darn it I like to share! ) I will try to keep most of the sharing to mechanical things, but the occasional house project or something may pop in there. I usually use photobucket but am considering trying something different. but as I do most of my posting either with my phone or random computers at work my options are limited.
I will jump in soon with my current project, that is building a couple trailers to use with my bike. ( an in tow with the bike) I will back fill and do what I can to not leave to many empty spots but I have so much missing from my other thread and you guys just don't know all my crazy just yet. so I may reshare a few things too... like offroading a 2001 grand prix, I will just say that I made it go were some trucks and 4x4 were struggling and was airborn no less than a dozen times that day! and yes I had a helmet and neck brace, because I know me!!
oh and Mater can verify much of my crazy and to a large degree we share our off color dealings... literally!
