New Viking on board! :usa:
From Norway, Europe. Was a foreign exchange student in Kansas City, MO back in ’93-’94. So there the first day at track and field practice, my couch, after trying to pronounce my name, announced: “From now on in my classes your name is Olie !” Have since I first opened my eyes, a fall day in ’75, had a thing for American cars. Bought my first car in ’97, a 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser. The best car available for the money at hand. But with school and education as the number one priorities, it soon ended up as a rolling work sketch, held together by duct tape and strip ties! As soon as I finished my education and got a job, I bought a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396, beautiful mist blue, with a four speed Muncie. Loved that car, but for some reason it was just TOO stock, and I didn’t have the money to change it into the pro-touring machine I knew it could be. Have always had a need to improve and customize things, so after about three years I sold it, started building my garage, and as soon as the roof was on, I started tearing down the old station wagon. The aim is a grocery getter that will accelerate, handle and stop like a sports car. There are many chassis I’d prefer over this one, but I still think this will be fun and more than anything: different !!:)
