New Member from Woodstock, GA

[BossaNova]

Just wanted to introduce myself and say "thank you" for this forum.
My name is Mark Keenum. I'm 51 years old & I guess this is my mid-life crisis.
I have not really fooled with cars since my early 20's (Wow! That's 30 years ago!). So, blame it on what you will, I bought a '67 Nova SS in June of this year.
Well, it didn't take long for me to realize that this was not how I remember the muscle cars of my 20's. This car handled terribly & the brakes left a lot to be desired.
Long story short......The Internet. A little bit of research showed me that I was not alone. It is truly amazing what is out there to feed my jones.
My car is currently in the shop getting a 4 link, mini-tub's, & 9" rear (can I say the name of the shop?).
I look forward to what I can contribute and glean from this site. I will take pictures of my progess in the hopes it will inspire.
Here's a "before" picture. "In progress" to follow.

Yes, I go to Riverstone Plaza in Canton when I can. I'm really impressed with the quality & number of cars compared to other shows in the area.

And Venomous Type, I guess you know why my car looks familiar. My car is also at Road Killer Kustoms.

Sweet car. David will make it look great and it should handle fantastically.

[class67]

Welcome Mark, nice car, can't wait to see the finished product.

[Ralph LoGrasso]

[GeoffP]

I'm a Ga boy too. Glad to see a fellow Georgian around.

[PleaseNoSteve]

Just like Venomous, my 72 challenger is getting worked on at Road Killer Kustoms in Canton. If you need anything done, you would be stupid to go anywhere else. Trust me!

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

I'm glad to see someone take the time to bring back a car too live. Great to have another GA boy.

[bingham72]

with all these Georgia boys, we should have our own PT section at that Canton cruise...welcome to the board.

Hey. Sounds like I'm on here with a bunch of "enablers". No chance of kicking my habit on this forum.

I'm glad to know there are so many GA/local folks here. I'm also glad to hear so many positive things said about David Sloan.

As far as the Canton show goes, it is the best I've been to in this area. I work every other weekend but I go when I can.

Venomous, those wheels weren't under the back of my car when you saw them..... were they? 8^)

The car will get a CA front clip & 2" drop spindles. Check this car out for what I'm after:

Hey Man. My wife drove thru Powder Springs last Saturday. She said they had the downtown area closed off with what looked to be a large car show.

Is that a monthly show? Ever been? Always a large turnout?
