Hello all, My name is Kevin and I am a Manufacuring Engineer. I actually design propellers and do design work for military ship builders. Enough of the boring stuff, I found this cool site while looking for a project to buy. I have been helping my dad work on his cars since I was just a young whipper snapper and now its my turn. I got out of cars for a while and did the school thing, got married had children..............now finally I got the ok (Wife) to buy a project and work on MY car with my dad and my two young boys. I had to look for something with a back seat as I have 3 young kids. My dads last project was a 31 victoria and I really liked the looks of that, so the race was on to find a 31 vicky thats affordable. I just needed a body and I was going to put it on 32 rails. Well, I found a complete car that needs help (good thing dad is familiar with rusty, dented, roll-over accident, catching on fire car bodies). Now dad really has his work cut out for him :) and I have a lot of work too.......but now I am thinking about changing gears to a 33/34 sedan, it has more room for the kids. A vicky will fit all of us know but I probably won't finish this thing for 3-4 years and the kids will all be bigger. Any ways thanks for all the great threads, I enjoy learning so I will be ghosting most of the time.
Kevin.

WOW! it's new guy from Michigan day. LOL welcome!

...P.S. if you decide to farm out the chassis work or buy a new one you should check out fellow Michiganders at the Ionia Hot Rod Shop. just put their name in the search function. you will be impressed and inspired i'm sure.

Ha! I spent some time on my buddies, uncle's pine tree farm (near Cadillac) when I was 14-15. Made some good money triming trees, but man that was one boring town.:D
