New Old Guy in GA

[Rich Venza]

Hi Gang,
This is the old retired, red headed fiberglass guy from Ai and Rod 'n Race Fiberglass now living in beautiful Suwanee, GA.
Been playing with and manufacturing car stuff since 1959 even though I didn't get a license 'till Sept 1960.
BEEN THERE DONE THAT is going to be on my headstone.
A couple dozen Street Rods, several Mild Street Customs, '56 Chevy Gasser, 2 Bonneville Streamliners, one built for Garlits (Swamp Rat 33), a couple of early 60's rails, and now a 1969 Woody Gilmore FED with a Fiat Topolino coupe, kinda like the one I built for the Flamin' Frank Pedregon project Pat Foster did a couple years back.
Got a 23 Track T Roadster to play with when the sun goes down, so if you're in the area, drop a line.....

Would like to locate any members of the MOTORMOUNTS OF MAPLEWOOD NJ car club. 1956 to 1962

Welcome Rich, from Md. I was in Ai a few times over the yrs. when it was in Elkridge. Don't think I ever met you there, usually talked to Dave or that guy Ray that worked the counter up front for a while. May have seen you in the back, but sometimes it was hard to recognize folks 'cause they were usually covered with fibreglass. Anyway, welcome to the HAMB and enjoy retired life.....Don.

Thanks for the welcome. I was at his spring opener with a '49 Ford / Cougar clone, then took it over at Rt66 Restorations for Mike's Sunday Open House. Wound up selling it to a guy in Jersey. Also did Super Chevy with a '64 Suburban (red) which guy from Gainsville bought. Then went to Bowling Green with another '66 Suburban that a guy from Canada bought. As you see, I do get out and about....look for my flamed yellow Dodge Quad Cab, Rich

Foster built Comp Coupe? I thought that the body for Frank's Coupe was hand made by Darrell Karst a good friend of Patty's. I was good friends with Patty before his death as he was a Standard 1320 member as is Darrell
