Newbies Introduce Yourself Here .. Welcome !

[Bashton]

Good morning;

My name is Bob Ashton and I live in the Detroit area. In addition to living and breathing ALL things car related, I am the producer of the annual Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show in the Chicago area.

I am a 7 time HRPT Long Hauler in my crazy '73 AMC Hornet and have been a "lurker" here for years. Although i make a living doing car things every day, I generally do car things in my off time too, when not water skiing or wakeboarding behind my Moomba!

Long overdue to jump in on the fun!

Bob Ashton

Hello Bang shift members. My name is Matt. I just joined up yesterday. I was referred here by meber "Hezie". I frequent a few other forums and hope to have a good time here.

As for cars, I currently have a 68 Chevrolet C10 stepside, which recently got a carbed LS1/700R4 combo. My wife has an 88 Mustang GT convertible with a 5.0/5 speed.

I've been around cars pretty much all my life. My dad has several vehicles that I have been involved in building. He has a 53 Chevy truck with 235/3 speed, a 56 Chevy BelAir sedan with 350/M20, an 87 Monte Carlo SS with 350 HO crate/2004R, and my first car which was an 83 ElCamino SS with 350/TH350.

Let me know if you want to see pics and I will post some.

I guess I should get over here to introduce myself. I am Bobby Little from the Richmond VA area, I am always playing with something motorized and have fun cruising with my '65 Chevelle or bracket racing my SBC powered rail. Been porting heads and intakes as a hobby for about 20 years and even do some side work for a few local builders.

Got over here interested in Drag Week and looking to make the '13 tour if it's within reach of the east coast.

Hello all, long time lurker first time poster. Finally got a car on a platform that I love, so I figured it was time to come out of the shadows. I just picked up a 1996 Town Car. Plans are to drive it until the motor seriously goes south, in that time I will be saving my pennies to build a good 4.6 to place back into it.

Guys,
I have not been following the Power Tour but will have to look at it, ran a leg back a few years ago when it was on the east coast. Just not my cup of tea to sit around in a show event. More of a racer type guy, so Drag Week is really bright on the Radar!

I guess I misread your post - I've set up a chair once or twice in 4 long hauls - usually for a place to set my beer. Welcome to BangShift.

Hi, Dieselgeek told me about this forum (so blame him ). I have been lurking for a while and I feel it is time to introduce myself.

I have worked as an aircraft mechanic for a major airline for the last 16 years. During that time I have worked with hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical systems. I also have plenty of experience with aluminum structural repairs along with working with composite structures.

I also work part time at a major national chain auto parts store. I have worked on and off in the auto parts industry since 1994.

In the spare time I have left, my wife and I run our business Dalzell Racing, LLC. We specialize in engine management systems and tuning - OEM to custom.

Project cars that I have in the driveway:

96 Ford Mustang - My daily driver. A V6 w a small cam, converted to E85, 3.73 gears, and a piggy-backed MegaSquirt MS2.

95 Pontiac Firebird - My wife's car. In the middle of an LT1 swap.

94 Chevy Camaro Z28 - Future drag car project.

94 Pontiac Firebird Formula - My wife's future land speed project.

73 Chevy Blazer - In long term project mow-around storage.
