Default Hello - another one from Great White North..

Hello (and Merry Xmas to all), a new member just joining.

I frequent PYForums (used to go to ProTouring) but got bored with folks talking about LS-motors all the time .

I have two projects underway, a '69 Bird which I bought over 1yr ago from a very nice gentleman in Louisiana. The other a '72 GTO which I have owned and worked on for 20+ years.

The GTO is going through a full on restification. My next big task is to tackle replacing the quarter panels - which is what has got me more interested in metal-working/shaping. My hope is I can learn something from the folks on this site

A couple of pics of the projects (the '69 drives and runs great). We just got the '72 back onto the frame (after being separated for a number of years). Hoping to get a running/driving vehicle by Fall of 2012 (optimistically)!
