Hello,



My name is David and I'm 21 from Southern, WV. I've been registered here for a while, but haven't really posted much. I own and drive a 1952 Pontiac Chieftain daily. It has the original 268 Straight Eight and Hydramatic transmission. Engine and trans are original and never had a rebuild and currently have over 100,000 miles on them. Over 30,000 that I've put on it myself with no serious problems. I've owned this car for close to 4 years now. It's built to be driven and that's what I do with it.



I am currently going through another 268 Straight Eight that's been completely rebuilt and bored .060 over. I'm replacing all gaskets and painting it up now. Should have it ready to drop in around spring time. I only get to work on it when weather permits since I don't have a garage and I work full time so it's hard to find time to work on it much.



My dad got me into working on old cars at a really young age... Although I'm only 21, I have owned, built and worked on 20+ cars ranging from years 1925-1964. This Pontiac is the only car I've ever built that I wouldn't sell. I'll probably have this as long as I'm still around :cool:















I do run a bonnet/air cleaner, just had it off when I took this picture.







This is the "new" engine I'm currently working on.







This is the car when I found it in March 05.
