Hey everyone,
Im 18 years old and recently bought a 1980 Luv for my first car. I have been following this site for a bit and love the info i can get here.
I luv luv trucks and wanted something i could work on. Currently in the process of getting the head resurfaced. Have plans on lowering it soon!

Welcome to the site. Are you in the US? Around here, we call that a "truck". :lol: But I've seen quite a few overseas owners refer to theirs as a "car".

Edit: Never mind, I see the California plate on the "car". :)

Make sure to subscribe to the Southern California email list. We do meetups every once in a while. Last one was at Nicks Cafe in DTLA a few months ago.

It's the forum under the lounge forum. Look for State and reginal. Not sure if a mod has to approve you to it, I will check.

At the upper right is the screen click on user control panel. From there pick user groups and click on there. After that a mod can accept it and add you.

Thanks Drummer for helping me out with this.
