Welcome to the HAMB. I share your Aviation background as well. Amazing how much of our instinct to fabricate/modify automobiles comes natural after years of experience in Aviation. Wish I still had access to all the tooling. I finally changed careers back in 2002 and never looked back. Look forward to running into you at the Round Up or the races out at Little River. Again, Welcome......

Welcome from Denton

I graduated from North Texas (guess that tells you why I'm an old fart)

Lived in an old building called "the Castle" think it was a bait shop or something at one time.

Welcome from the Heart of Texas.

You must be from Mercury.:) They have a sign claiming to be the "Heart of Texas.

Of course West Texas is not in west Texas either. Got a great state don't we.
