    Noob from Greensburg

    Hello all. Some on here may know me. If you don't, I look forward to meeting you. Heard about this yesterday on the Pizza Power Tour.

    I own a few vehicles. None are showpieces, all are drivers. I tend to keep vehicles for a while, but have owned alot of vehicles over the years. Mostly a Muscle car and truck guy, but I do enjoy all makes/types - exotics, luxury, sports, street rods, etc, etc. I appreciate anything that is well built/engineered and love lots of horsepower.

    My 1990 454SS truck - 461ci Big Block with Accel DFI and T56 SixSpeed, 5/7 drop and many other mods. Currently owned 24+ years:



    My 1966 Pontiac GTO TriPower, 4spd. Full Global West suspension, disk brake conversion - I did a full frame up restoration and got it on the road in 2008, currently building Aluminum head, solid roller 461 Pontiac motor:




    1996 K2500 (Poopy) 5.7L Vortec, 4L80e - bought with bad motor, bad brakes and a bad case of the uglies - rebuilt motor and generally cleaned it up:




    The Wife's TL Type-S:



    My 2002 VTX1800-C - Bought new in 2002, several mods




    I look forward to meeting some of yinz on the forums and out and about.

    Welcome aboard! Love those rides - especially that Goat! What a great mix! Lots of goat lovers around here...you'll soon see.

    Global West stuff is awesome. I have a bunch of it on my '66.

    That gold car next to your GTO - if it is the car I'm thinking of - is amazing too. Light resto-mod with 17's and redlines? Super clean.

    I'm sure you have heard about the track rental on Sunday. Are you coming? If so, what are you bringing?

    I first restored my GTO with all Moog rubber stuff. Drove it a year and pulled it all out and threw it away. The Global West stuff was a HUGE difference. Also have a Grand Cherokee steering box, Disc brakes in the front, 1.250" front sway bar and Global West LCAs in the rear. Still need to get a rear bar for it. When I do the 9" rear, I will add rear discs. It handles great but doesn't have enough power to get me in trouble.

    The Gold car is a very well restored car owned by a guy named Jim from Harrisburg area. It is not a resto-mod, but mostly factory restored car with Original Hurst wheels. I believe he took first place that year. That was at the Performance Years open house. I've taken my car there 3-4 years so far. Missed last year.

    I did see about the track rental. I may try to come out, but don't have anything to race (SoLow has probably already run his mouth LOL). May just drive the GTO out to see what's goin' on.

    I just remembered the gold car I was thinking of was an early Buick GS. Same gold with a black vinyl roof.

    That new goat motor sounds interesting...and those poverty caps are sweet!!

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    look closer at that roof. It is painted black. That was an option on Pontiacs back then, as well as vinyl top.
