hey all, i'm new here, but definitely not new to hot rods. been working on cars since I could walk, and have had a few failed attempts at projects of my own. I've finally fallen into a few vehicles I really enjoy messing with. though I'm sure the city doesn't love them as much as me... oh well! lol. been tinkering with a 63 impala 4 door hard top, and been slowly acquiring parts for my 27 t coupe. the impala has a factory 327 with a 4 barrel, its not pretty but it runs and drives, and fun to tinker with and take cruising. the T body is ok, needs a drivers door and hinges, and some other misc sheet metal. I have a bucket t frame that I bought without doing enough research, but I have some in the way of fab skills and other buddies who make up for what I lack and while i can weld, they also have bigger welders and a tad bit more skill at that as well for important stuff. Just thought i'd show my stuff off. i'll probably start build threads one day as things get more done. but for now, i'll leave pics here for ya to take a peek at. thanks for allowing me the opportunity to join ya!

thanks guys. haha the 427 is for the big block chevy.... and surprisingly enough for the amount of cars ive had, never had a big block... but that username goes back pushing 15 years ago when i got my very first email address in jr high haha, sorry its not a better story..
 
thanks for the replies guys! i'm from the des moines area. and at some point id would like to chop the T, I have a buddy whos trying to get me to leave it, and it will for a while, but ive always thought the tall T look unproportioned... I just got home and am super tired, but i'll try to through a build thread together for the T. haha if it doesn't make sense, I apologize lol.
