Hello everyone....... I'm Chevy Man !! My name is Ken and I live just south of St. Louis. I have kinda "lurked" around here for some time and am very impressed with the vast amount of knowledge here and how well you all seem to get along. I recently bought a pair of 409 manifolds from one of your members (Donnie Shanz jr) and was very impressed with the quality of the manifolds and how he conducted himself through this purchase. I grew up in the 50s and 60s working in a local chevy dealership and washed all those nice 57s to 60s going to high school. (they wouldn't let me drive em though!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Anyway I started full time in the parts dept in 1963 and worked my way to service manager until I finally gave it up in the late 70s after working in 4 dealerships !!! Thats about all the nerves can stand !!!! ( 2 years of those days was with the army). I bought a new 62 "409" and later bought a 63 '409" so my experience with these go way back, although I'm certainly not as knowledgeable as most all of you. .................I've been in the old car hobby most all my life and have owned a bunch of them. I'm currently building a black 63 impala with black interior and black vinyl roof, bench seat 340 horse 4 speed. I hope to get it done later in 2009.I also have a 57 Inca Silver belair 2 door HT and a 50 chevy streetrod pickup.................... Thank you for allowing me to join you all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
