[Chevelle-list] A Great Group

[mike f]

Welcome Steve. I will say that this is a good group and sometime is more talkative than other times. We get along pretty good as long as we stay away from politics. laughing. Hanks does his own work and is in pilot point. Maybe that is who you a thinking of. Just speak up and we'll work through it.

Hi to all group members. I've been basically watching from the sidelines. But I just have to say how I admire the camaraderie of this group. Most members act like real friends...
someone you can turn to with a problem.

When I was younger I worked at a Pontiac dealership. (keep hanging around until they offered me a job) Ended up staying 6+ years. Started out washing cars then worked up towards helping out at the Service Tower checking in customers cars, handing out work to the mechanics, etc. 
(eventually bumped heads with the owner's son - we know who won that fight)

Then I got a job at the local Oldsmobile parts department until it finally closed down. Never could get a job with the Chevy dealerships. I'm 100% G.M. all the way. 

Took a break from the car scene for a while.
(I remember it took my hands about two weeks to heal - busted knuckles, wear & tear, etc.) 

I got to the point where I just couldn't deal with some of people (customers) anymore. The worst were the wealthy ones. The average guy was the best. I'd even let several behind the counter & we'd look either on line or in person for the exact part they needed) Sorry if this post is a bit long winded. 

I just want to say what a great bunch of fellows this group has. That I have a place to turn if I need the help. By next fall or so I'll be looking for a !966 - 1967 Chevelle. (never been too big a fan of the 68 -69; can't afford a 1970) My health forces me to look for a turn key type (or one that doesn't need much work) Somewhere in the 15K range - if the prices don't head towards outer space. A street driver. 

Lastly, does anyone remember a post from about a year or so ago that included an attachment (or private website) where the owner did his own resto? (I hope it was this group; I'm in a couple) I remember the car being a '67 (maybe 66). The car was painted brown. He had smoothed the firewall, etc. I think is was switched over from an automatic to four speed. It had several photos of the work in progress. If I can find that site it would really get my enthusiasm going again. Any ideas who's it was? Keep up the great work guys! Thanks ahead of time for any help.
