Hi my name is Brad, I'm from Brew City, WI! A few of you here know me. I have been working on my 1959 Oldsmobile for about 4-5 years now. It runs pretty strong and I drive it regularly in the summer. I registered as a user with HAMB a long time ago but have never taken the time to post. I recently have rented a small 2 car garage and will be doing some more major work on the car, frame/exhaust/suspension/transmission. So your suggestions and help will be appreciated!

Ha ha..actually I took that pic at a cabin outside of Eagle River, WI where my family goes fishing every year. It was the first long road trip for my olds. About 700 miles round trip.

Is that the Olds that was parked on the highway at the Cheaters show?
Nice car, but leave your political opinions at the door. Rule #1 of the HAMB.

I may get around to "slammin' it" someday when I get to do some more work on the suspension. Yes, it was parked on the street at the Cheaters show. And I will take your advice on keeping politics off the board. Thanks for the Welcome!

Well Chuck said he was gonna pass a BK's shirt along to me last time was here in Milwaukee, but said he ran out and would bring some with next time he visits. I rent a garage here in Milwaukee with his younger brother Brian. Who is soon to sell his custom chopper to build a model A coupe street rod. Oh by the way ask Chuck about the late night prank phone call about the cutsom Ford Aerostar he's working on! I guess it does wheelies! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
