new guy from michigan - lots of pictures (of my cars! ;))

Hi everybody, I've been lurking awhile (especially in the classifieds ;)) and figured I should introduce myself if I'll be posting more.
My name is Josh, and I've got a 1955 Chevrolet 210 (the ever popular 4 door sedan, with I6...) and a 2004 Impala for my daily. The 210 is staying mostly stock due to a lack of budget and time, but I'm always looking for a VW beetle that I can tear into without fear of having to spend a fortune if I screw something up.
I'm a student in high school right now (my junior year) and I've had the 210 since summer before my sophomore year. I do most of the work myself, but I normally need some help figuring out what's wrong and how to go at it.
Aside from school, I'm really into robotics, computers, electronics, CAD, and alternative fuels - I've designed a reverse fuel cell that I use in the Impala, and will start pitching it to companies once I get my patent confirmation (techinically, I'm patent pending already).

If there's an interest, I can post pictures of the robots or something later.

Anyway, thanks for welcoming me here guys!

Hey Josh, welcome to the HAMB. Too bad your not a 16 year old girl, you'd have a whole lot more replies to your post.:rolleyes: :D Congrats, you sound like you've got alot on the ball for a high schooler. Stick around, ask questions, answer some when you can, and feel free to join us around town this summer. Watch for posts entitled "GMB" something or another.

Welcome. Let me know if you have a question about VWs, and I'll probably give you a wrong answer or two. Also, don't tell anybody here you like VWs. They'll scalp ya.

Do you live on a hill? Is one of your legs shorter than the other?
