i never had an influence to push me through the automotive world. I am into chevy cuz i learned to drive in my dad's 87 silvy. i started to really get into it when i had a 95 dodge ram that needed new head gaskets. after i found out that motors are really big legos, it all fell into place. my engineering drive keeps me motivated as well as just reading the joy someone has when they complete their build. This site overflows with information and thanks to everyone for answering my questions and putting up with my crap and a special thanks to rob (robt34) for always lending a hand and mark (slo truck) for lending a garage
