Thanks! 55 Bel Air, 427 RHS small block stroker with 8 stack Inglese injection. It's a fun, fast, easy to drive classic. I like old cars, muscle cars, sports cars, big "boat" cars, American and foreign. If it burns gas it's okay in my book. Hence the name, Burn Fossils.

I like to work on them as much as driven them. Fixing a coolant leak at the rear of the intake on it. Thought it was a freeze plug which is why it's on the lift.
I had it down to '55 or '56; can't believe my Chevy ID skills have deteriorated so much. Of course if I saw the headlights it would have been easy.

My sister owned a '56, I've owned a '58 and a '57.
 
Not sure if put the beans picture on this thread or not. so here you go since I like to close things out the right way.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

I'll join to the "are you looking for someone to mop your shop" brigade. I'd live there, just sleep in the floor.

More pics of, eh, everything?
 
(OT)

... and I thought it was perfectly safe.

Can we has video of the Land Shark's engine?

The car had been stored for over five years, so it's currently at a professional shop to be awakened properly.

Once we have everything checked out, cleaned up, and updated as needed it will be fine tuned on a chassis dyno. I'll try to post some video of that. Don't hold your breath though, as it may be a while as I'm in no hurry with winter on its way. Also, we may pull the engine to verify its state of health prior to adding boost on the dyno and to replace the clutch. It currently has a very small and very light racing clutch. It revs like crazy, but it would be very tough to drive on the street.

I'll keep you posted on progress.

Stay tuned.

At this point, I'd say to not post here, instead, make a thread of your own at the cars section here!
 
Every post you have made has been from the same location.

That location is not in Italy, where you claim you are. It's not in Germany, where you claim you were. It's in the Czech Republic.

I've no idea why you're lying about any of this or what you hope to gain by it, but you're not going to gain any respect or admiration for it.
End this account. I will join again saying who i actually am.
 
There are others who started their GTP life in a web of lies, come clean and apologised and stuck around for a long time afterwards.
I'm sure him seeing Burn Fossils realness made him rethink things. Give SX beans for dinner!!
 
I heard there was a Mosler, here, was not disappointed. Nice car man! can't wait to hear back soon.

It also seems there is a witch hunt going on over someones alleged owning of a Testorossa
 
@WeThePeople didn't exactly get off to the greatest start on GTP life.
Not sure why I was mentioned in this, but that is true. I will not deny that I started out on GTP telling a web of lies about myself (signed up underage, had two active accounts, participated in trolling, lied about my personality and location, etc). However, the mods have found out abut this, since I came clean. I have been completely honest on this site since I told them. In that kind of situation, one should should always come clean ASAP.

@GTracerEHTeam, out of curiosity, how did you even know I existed? I don't think I've ever recall seeing your username.

Because when you do something bad, the whole forum knows.
