Long time hotrodder who moved to Socal last year to pursue partnership with well known builder, but mainly to enjoy the Socal car culture. What a great place for a car guy to live and play with hotrods. Wish I had moved here 40 years ago. Anyway, the partnership didn't work out but that's okay. Life is good.

I have owned some pretty cool hotrods and sold a few of them at Barrett (Whatthehaye, Crazyhorse, Alumatub, and some 32's and 33's). My wife is a car girl and ownes a couple of nice rides.That makes it pretty nice for us.

So, since my BC deal blew up, we just enjoy all the cars and people of Socal and are semi-retired. Thanks for having us on the H.A.M.B.

The billet phase of my hotrodding education is OVER. Traditional only for me. Boy do I have stories about that transition...

I'm just sayin....

It's all good, man. Traditional is by far the best way to go, I agree...

It's interesting to watch some hotrodders including me change tastes over the years. I admit to having been a comtemporary billet laden car guy, but it goes away after a while. I really enjoy the traditional rods now and the many styles and choices of the build especially incorporating vintage components. This is a lot more fun.
