Another member said I shoudl introduce myself, and let you all know a little about me. So here is my story.
My Name is Andrew, and im 21. I have had a good amount of cars up to my age i would think, but im sure that others have had more. I have go ne though many stages so far of cars that i have built and like. I started off with a 76 corvette at 16, and ill just throw this one out. That was a bad idea. I aquired about 3 tickest in that car and crashed it.
Then i had a 81 vette, and crashed that one as well. So not to much good luck with those cars there. I then got a 1997 honda prelude, which to fully tricked out. Dumped about 60k in that car, and now am selling for a grand total of like 5. You have to love how new cars prices deminish. But oh well it taught me alot. I fully built the motor, from a balanced custom stroker crank to the steel sleves to the custom pistons and so on. Fully built head with custom crower cams. All that nice stuff. I slapped a turbo on it, and put 20psi though it. Got around 600 wheel hp. ANd then blew up the motor. So yeah, that was a nice waste of cash.
Then i built a few more hondas for people. I dont know if you guys know alot about them, but i was the second person to take a RSX type S motor and put it in a 01 Civic. And i was the first person not backed by a shop to do it. That was fun car, and took about 2 motnhs to get that all done, and the night after the photo shoot, me and my buddy whos car it was were out driving and hit by a Drunk driver who totaled the car. So that was the final Honda i built.
So my current projects now are my 1949 GMC 1/2 ton truck,m My 1956 Olds 4 door hard top, and i jsut picked up a 1928 Model A truck. I drive my truck daily, and the olds is in the barn waiting, and the 28 A is in the grage being built. I do all my own work. I am lucky enough to have te room to do it all. I am into the old cars alot more than anythign else that i have done. I have always been lucky to have cars that stood out from others and the old cars are just so much more fun.
Umm, as for finaces and all, Im a registered firefighter paramedic. I have done other jobs such as Private Investigation, and Background checks. Not to much fun but i never did complaine when the check came. As for right now im in school getting my class A drivers liscense and my Heavey Equiptment operatiors liscense. I live up right now in Loma Rica California, near Marysville.
So yeah i think thats about it. Feel free to ask any questions.
