Canadian New Guy....

Hey guys, nice site and nicer rides. I'd been hearing about protouring.com and came to see what all the fuss was about. Seems I might have found a new home.

I'm in the process of building a 50 Pontiac. The stock frame has a custom front susp, 4 link rear, coilovers on all corners, Wilwood 4 wheel disk brakes, custom cell, narrowed framerails, 9", and gets 17x11 Billet Smoothies in the back. I've got a 400SBC with a 4L60 sittin in the garage that will get it in the 12's for starters. I'll throw on some pics and get back to browsin the board....

Looks like it will be one fun ride!
My dad has one that he converted into a farm vehicle long before it was cool to resto-mod these cars! We call it the "Jittney." It has a dump box on the back and swamper tires on the rear, wooden floorboards etc! Doesn't look like much of a car anymore! Still has the original hood, engine and tranny though! Many a kid (including myself) learned how to drive on this thing over the years! LOL I will try to find some pics to post one of these days!

I'm sure yours will be much more fun to drive!

Thanks for the welcome guys... I'm chomping at the bit waiting to get out and burn up the first set of tires... hopefully taking out some pretty street car... nothing worse than getting smoked by a sleeper...

When I was a kid one of my buddies put a 396 with a 4 speed in a rusty 50 Pontiac 4 door torpedo back. He fooled a lot of muscle cars with that sleeper. The front fenders would shake with that engine in it. Sure was fun to ride in.
