Hi guys, I've recently started visiting this website. What a great website by the way. My name is Derek I'm 28 yrs old and live in Oregon MO. I'm probably a little younger than most people interested in these old w-motors. I guess I tell everyone what got me interested. As far as I can remember back, my Uncle Roger has had a 1963 Bel Air 409 4spd that he bought new back in 1963. He still has the car!!! When my interest in cars started getting the best of me, my dad would tell me stories of when he took my Uncle to the local chevy dealer to order the car, and other times of when my uncle wasn't around and my dad would sneak the car out and go cruising in it on weekend nights. He always said that car would pull hard enough to throw you to the back seat if you weren't holding on to the steering wheel good enough. Anyway, stories like that are why I'm hooked on W-motors. I wish more people my age had such an interest in them. I currently have a 1955 chevy 2dr. 210 (currently mouse powered), and a 1962 biscayne 2dr. that is sort of a nostalgia car in the making. I took a giant step back on that project a few years ago and had to sell my 409 powerplant I had bought for it , so I could finish up college. Luckily I'm hoping to gain some of that ground back this spring because another uncle of mine has a couple of old grain haulers with 409's in them. I'm gonna retrieve one of them this spring and the other hopefully soon after. Anyway, sorry for the long intro, hope to meet up with some of you guys in the near future. Also if anyone has info on modifying x frames for drag race use send me an email, dgw_72396@hotmail.com,
Thanks,
Derek
