Let's see, SWM, 30.. no wait, that's something else.. umm. yeah, so..
RustyNewYorker, AKA Bill K. The Rusty New Yorker is my '60 wagon that I still haven't gotten out of where I found it. Found some bad rot in the rear subframe. Don't know what I will do with it now..
I live in Upstate New York, where cars rust and it takes real courage to work on a car. I dont know what else really to tell, usually I just dive into these message boards.. I like Pontiacs (57-60), Mopar stuff (55-61) and some others.. I have a '40 Buick Roadmaster coupe in decent shape, Id like to redo it but like anything else I'd part with it for the right money. I figure if I put a stupid price on something and someone comes along who thinks it's a steal, I'll go find two or three replacements and still be happy. Late 30's cars are nice. Customs are good, too.
My girlfriend thinks I'm weird, but she likes me anyways.. no kids, ex-wives or anything like that (so far).
I've been making money mostly by reselling cars and hobby stuff, sort of my own business on the side. I have a friend I work with until I get my own patch of land I can park some cars on and not get hassled by the zoning cops. If you're looking for something, we can probably find it.. just stepped into a car collection and I would love to get something sold so I can buy a few out of the 5000 or so there - maybe the '55 Chevy with custom grille and quad lights someone built about 1960 or so. Anyone want a '50 Ford woodie project? Bought that just to sell, but the resto guys whine it's too rusty. I say, so customize it, weld a coupe pan into it and then chop the sucker - dont think thats ever been done before. Or section it and do it up like a traditional custom. Then no one can complain that you cut up a cherry stocker to build it.
Anyways, that should tell you what I'm about. Any questions, ask away.. I tend to be a smart-ass though, be forewarned. I procrastinate, I can be lazy, my priorities are mixed up sometimes, but I'm not evil or anything like that. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
