Looks like you've got another new guy on the forum.
Been lurking for a while and I like this place.
So. A little about me is in order.
I've been working on cars since I was old enough to pick up a wrench. First with my grandfather and my dad, then with all the other older guys in my neighbourhood. One guy was a heavy duty mechanic, another was a machinist who built adapters to put Corvair engines into VW's in his garage, my neighbour across the street let me help him build his 5-window chevy pickup in his garage.
I've built mini-trucks, 4-wheel drives and raced 70's imports since I got out of highschool. I did 8 years as an aircraft maintenance engineer before I quit because of no pay and too much stress, now I fix power tools for a living.
I have a few cars in my driveway:
1953 Morris Oxford
1956 International S120
1967 Jeep Gladiator
1970 Lincoln Continental
1972 Firebird Formula 350
1980 Trans Am SE Turbo
1984 Indy Fiero
Most of these are not what you guys build and you may not like what I have but I'm always changing cars (kinda looking for a '63 Riviera but not looking real hard)
I love cars, I don't really care what I'm working on as long as I'm working on something.
Hope that is enough of an intro for you guys.
