The 409 Kid
Member
Hello, first time posting here. Haven't used a computer very much since they let me out 5 years ago (from school) so I'll probably mess this up. Someday I hope to get started on my projects, but winter is here and I don't have a shop up yet, so spring time I'll get back at 'em. I started collecting parts/cars years back, when I was 15 buying 348 parts at the Portland swap meet. Bought my first 59 impala at 18 and never slowed down! I currently have 3 59 Impala 2 door hardtops- a rusty parts car, a fairly solid 348 factory 4 speed project (minus eng/trans), and a daily driver 283 pg. I found a 59 Brookwood 2 door wagon in a cow pasture 2 years ago- 235 stick, and another wagon found its way in this summer, a 63 biscayne 4 door 235 stick. Somehow a 59 Buick Le Sabre 2 door hardtop also found me, and I couldn't let it go! Now for the good stuff- I picked up a 409/340 with my summer wages after high school, and later on ran across a 65 dump truck in my hometown. You guessed it- 409 truck engine in that one too. The guy was putting the dump box on a diesel rig and I talked him out of the 409. Along the way I found a trio of 348's and a complete tri-power. All before I hit 23! Couldn't have done it without taking shop class and becoming a certified welder. Well enough about me, I really like this site and hope to have one of my sisters get some pic's on here for you all.
Maybe ,just maybe Old uncle Phil might get some competition now . 
You've got a long way to catch up to him though.
We all need lots of pics when you get started on your projects please.
bang Sounds like a lot of great projects you have going. and no shop
Also sounds like you need a barn, A big one. Look forward to those pictures. Ken
