----Welcome to the asylum, Ken! It looks like we have a lot in common (cars, boats, racing), and we are in the same general area as well. Do you boat on the river or Lake St.Clair???.......Bill S

Guys, thanks for the warm welcome.

I'm actually an avid RC boat racer have scale hydroplanes(all electric). Set a few oval records here and there. Getting back into the car hobby after 25 year absence(marriage, kids, college etc). Closing in on retirement with the General so i figured i better get my 71 SS Convertible done. Just finishing up the chassis & powertrain resto `ICE NINE' is doing the body & paint.

----Ken,,,We will have to get you over to the river sometime and I can get you inyerested in something big and fast that floats. I need someone around here to share my pain (monetary, LOL!!!). Are you, by chance, at the Tech Center???.....Bill S

Hey Ken,
Welcome, I think you'll like it here.

I'm likin it already Donnie. I have a special thing for white cars, we used a donar white car(southern car)underbody to repair my rusted out SS convertible. It was a monster project but keep the car all OEM GM panels.

Hey Bill I do work at the Tech Center and like the big boats(what do you have?) especially watching the Hydros on the Detroit River and Offshore on St.Clair.

----Ken,,,I live just south of Marine City and of course am always at the St.Clair races. Its become a really great event, dont you think?
----As for boats I have a couple of old Donzis, and my favorite, a 1972 Fino 30. Google Finomarine.com and tell me what you think. Mine is the dark blue one listed at the top under Bill Stephens (my name was entered wrong). The restoration of the Fino kind of slowed down my car endeavors the last couple of years, but its done now, thank God!!!.......Bill S

Wow Bill extremely impressed, are those twin 454s? Classic lines, love the swept back transom. I been to the St Clair races a couple times and the tunnels in Algonac.My passion is the big Unlimiteds been going every year since i was a kid.

Hey Donnie did you get any build sheets or other documentation with the car? More pics please.
