New here, from PA.
« on: February 21, 2011, 05:12:41 PM »
Hello everyone. Im new here. Im from Mercer, PA. Me and my grandfather have gotten a new project, kind of. My grandfather bought a 79 (I think its a 79) Chevy Bonanza K20 new. It was parked in 92 or 93, it was last inspected in 92. It is now in the way of where our new garage is going so we both decided to make it a project truck for us  :D

Edit...figured Id tell some about myself. I turn 16 next month, still in highschool. I havent seen my dad in several years so me and my grandpa are really close and do alot together. Im a huge diesel person (hate gas!  :P) Goin to diesel mechanic school next year and I want to go into engine machining out of highschool.
