Hey all. New guy here...found some interesting stuff so figured I'd join in on the fun. I'm 25 and from Minnesota, my father and I own a shop....so I've always been around cars my whole life....and was also crazy enough (or dumb enough) to continue on what he started. We do street rods, customs (new and old school) custom painting etc. at our shop. My personal project at the moment (it's been a long moment) is a '55 Nomad: I chopped 4" outta the roof, shaved all handles emblems and mouldings, changed the radiused rear wheel openings, from the nomad only...to the typical '55 opening...to give it the slammed appearance. I've got bags under all the corners also (it's more of a modern custom) but I love old school traditional work also. So I hope to learn/share some techinques on the h.a.m.b.
