I guess you could say that I am old school, I don't care much for the billet look and I don't enjoy watching the current bunch of clowns that are all over the tube. I prefer the work of George B., "Big Daddy" and Norm G. I grew up with the Hot Rods of the '50's and Harley's of the '60's. At the tender age of 16 I bought my first of many Harley's, a 1947 Knucklehead. I've owned '54, '55, '56, '57 and '58 Chevy's as well as a '54 Ford Crestliner, '54 and '55 F100's and, up until recently, a 1950 Pontiac Catalina which still had the straight 8 and hydromatic trans. As a teen I could be found at the old Fontana Drag Strip, Pomona Drag Strip and of course In N Out. We cruised Whittier Blvd., Huntington Blvd. and Beach Blvd. Chased the babes at Huntington Beach and Balboa Island. It was a great time to be a teen! So, to all, I say howdy and I hope I am in the right place with like minded people that share the passion. Later...
