Hi guys new to the site just figured i would drop a line and say whats up..I have a small resto shop here in w.mass where i restore classic cars etc, but i also play with my trucks as a hobby... Right now i currently drive a 2001 chevy 2500 hd ( work beast ) , 2000 ss camaro , a 2001 chevy tahoe , and i am building an old body 95 tahoe to play with but these are my daily drivers, i also have a few classics but i'll stick to the subject matter...
Here is a pic of my tahoe i just put a 6" fabtec lift in the truck last week , now my dang wheels are not going to work, i will be buying some off set wheels pretty soon, right after i figure this trans issue out.I chose this 95 because it had zero rust on the frame or under carriage , it had his/her sun roofs , fold down tv's , Jl audio custom box molded into the rear , nice leather and just a clean clean truck..Only rust on whole truck in bottom of rear barn door.Well anyhow , glad to meet you guys/gals and i plan on sticking around for while..Here are the pics ...Thanks

Thanks guys i appreciate the comments... The Tbi Motor is coming out, what i was planning for truck is to put a nice little ls2 i have sitting in the garage into it, change the cam , get a Fasstt Intake , upgrade the ignition system , and an exhaust to top it off, nothing too extravagant .....Then let my buddy go to town on the paint , thinking of black , i know its hard to keep clean but it just looks good to me, pick up some different wheels , i like the WELDS alot but they are not going to work so they will collect dust for while, more than likely pickup something similar but maybe in a 17" or 18" , and finally Put a few more inches of lift maybe 3 or so, it's a sickness i tell you, once you get the lift in it's never enough..:)
Again thanks for the compliments / oh and i have thick skin so don't hesitate to be honest with me , it's all good im a big boy..
Couple pics of my classics for those that asked.....
Here ya go...

1983 w/ 87 nose 10" lift, complete frame off , 383 stroker , yamaha R1 blue paint , all new panels everywhere...Has swampers on it now...Clean clean..

Couple more pics of my 67 Camaro we fully restored..I'll show you from the beginning to the end, i know i like looking at pics so i don't mind sharing...
In the beginning we bought he car sight unseen on word of a friend that it was solid at least a good builder..Well turns out it was rough , and that an understatement , but i just could not let an original 50k mile 67 camaro get scrapped so we dug in........way more work than i expected but once i was pot committed there was no looking back....
Here it is the day it showed up ....:confused::confused: ..
