New Member from Minnesota

Hey Everybody! This is Matt from Eagan, MN. I have been a longtime (but mainly inactive) member of Lateral G. Thought I would come over here as well as I have heard great things.

I sold my '61 Bubbletop Impala this spring. The car had a Pro Touring look, but in reality, was far from a Pro Touring car. My next project is a '67 Chevelle SS 396 Convertible that I picked up this summer. It's a nice solid car and I plan on doing an entry level pro touring build on it. It will have a stock chassis with upgraded suspension, big brakes, 18" wheels, and a few other things to make it fun.

I also have a '96 Camaro convertible which has been built into a street/roadrace/autocross car. It has been a 15 year 'in progress' build, and is probably one of the world's most expensive $3500 car.

Here are a few pics to get things started. Thanks for allowing me to become a member of such a great community!

Yep! Got my butt kicked while competing in the Real Street Eliminator Challenge a few years back. :-)

Oh nice. I did the autocross last year with my camaro. Didn't do very well and my car broke on my way home but still had a blast.

Welcome to the site guys. I'm from the St. Cloud area. I dig the C1500 and the Chevelle is looking pretty good too.
