1957 Chevrolet Belair 2 Door post with a .060 over 283 Duntov 30/30 cam and Aluminum powerglide.
Here I am sandblasting it when I was about 11 or 12. Paid $650 for it!







The Camaro phase which I have had no luck in progressing or regressing from came next...

My first car was a SIMCA. Yes a simca. I think it was a little French job, but anyway it had 4 in the tree which was really cool.

My first car was a 1970 Chevelle Malibu 307, Gold with black stripes. I paid $100 for it and drove it home. That was 1990 so it was just and old rusty car. I drove it for about 6 month and rolled it over on a dirt road. Sold it for $150 and thought i got a good deal. The guy I sold it to took the motor and trans and put in his truck and sold the body to a junk yard.
Wish I could buy it back for $150.

LOL! - that's because it IS Atco!

I traveled on the ciruit for about 15 years with the NMCA/NSCA. There were 8 to 10 races per year, all up and down the east part of the country. One of the stops was Atco. Typically we would start in Florida in Feb or March and work our way north as the weather got warmer. One or two events in Ohio and Michigan and then finish up in Columbus or Memphis (depending on the association) in October.

Mine was built for me by my grandfather.

It was also my first paint job

Just amazing how everything came together for you Steve also great example of what may still be out there waiting for someone's time/effort spent backtracking.
Awesome you get a new friend out of the deal plus especially cool how Paul's a real car guy who was actively looking for the car!
