hey my name's chris. im from ct, born and raised (considering im 20, there's really not much raising i guess). i got into kustoms 4 years ago when i started my first job at a local salvage yard. there was a guy there who grew up in the 50's and he just filled my head with stories about the drags and the cars.

growing up, i was always into cars. my father took me to swap meets throughout my childhood and i always loved it. in april 2006 i graduated baran institute of technology, in the autobody field. i really had no desire to work for a collision shop, but to learn and excel in kustom work.

here's my solid 57 olds that i picked up cheap. she needs some work, but what classic doesnt. be kind. :o

Sweet! I drove out to Connecticut to p/u a Jowett Jupiter that had been found in a salvage yard. Maybe it was the same yard you worked in. :) Fantastic area of the country, and tasty Oldsmobile! Welcome aboard! (I'm a newbie myself!) -Tony Bittle
