Hi all my name is Kevin Knuth I live in Phoenix AZ I have a shop in the north valley about twenty six miles from my house. By choice I am a blacksmith as my primary means of making a living.
I have been addectid to cars sense I was knee high to a grasshopper accorrding to my parents. my current collection runs from a 39 Merc 2 dr coupe to the newest thing I own a 1990 one ton dually (Ford). I know more about Chevys than I do most of the others but I presonally prefer Fords and Mopars than the rest do love a good sports car thou (have a Maserati Mexico)
Current Projects include a T-bucket I am searching for some parts for, a 1970's chopper that was a Honda 750 has a KZ-1000 engine in it I will find the right engine someday for it. I am also building a rock crawler (Samuri) and rebuilding a 33 ft Chris Craft Roamer for a freind. The Merc is in finding parts stage and when I finally do it I will give it to my wife of thirty years (was her Dads car) I had a Lincoln Capri but it was stolen on my Daughters wedding night about three years ago. I also have six 1960 F-100 trucks including two crew cabs (F-250) and one 1960 Lincoln 430 powered Thunderbird.
As I have been self employed most of my adult life I have owned several differant types of companys I had a kit car company in the eightys went on to building silk screen equiptment and then wire respoolers had a machine shop, body shop, fab shop and now I do artistic blacksmithing.
I do most of my mischeif at my shop out grew the house years ago (five car garage no cars in it). I do a bit of horse tradin' as a way of helping pay for my habbits (eating paying bills)
Thanks for reading this
