    I have a new build coming together.
    I sold my Chopper and my machine gun.
    I have a large collection of Kustom related artifacts that I'm going to be auctioning off on Ebay. Ive been collecting originals for over 25 years.
    I've been doing some low-key stuff to finance some of my hobbies.
    Check out my Ebay ID "losershero"
    I don't know if we are allowed to share links anymore.
    I've been rather quiet for the last few years. I cleaned my life up a little bit, had a few kids, left California, and I'm coherently and currently working for an engineering company designing and building conveyor systems and pipelines.
    It's been almost 7 years of drug free living, no jails, no brawls and no dumb shit.
    Losing alot of friends to violence and overdose really woke me up.
    Some are giving their lives to the prison system.
    If I wronged you before, I'm sorry. I was a strung out piece of shit.
    Message me in private so we can square up. In 2011 my shop was raided and everything was seized. My cars and my personal items were auctioned off.
    I went south and went to work with Masterson Kustoms.
    From there I went to rehab until I could straighten out my legal issues...
    Well that's about all. I figured I would say hello..
    -germ

    Going to be building a '41 Mercury Coupe.
    They were always my dream car..

    I don't know you, personally, but I've been where you've been, seen it, done it and got the T-shirt. Glad you came out the other side OK. When you're ready, I'd like to see pics of the Merc.

    Glad to hear you've made the change and life is getting better. Put the rest of your years to good use and everyone will benefit, mainly you! I look forward to seeing what you do with the Mercury. I had a 41 Ford convertible at one time.
    Best wishes to you.

    What everyone has said.

    Welcome back.

    I miss the ramblings too, but didn't understand most of them. In my pre-clean days (over 35 years ago) I would have understood most of them and probably been able to write many of them.

    Best wishes in your "new" life.

    Best of luck in your path from here to wherever you get to. I haven’t met you, but I heard a lot about you. Can’t be easy being where you were, and I’m glad you escaped.

    The Prodigal Son returns !! Welcome back, you've been missed. Not many people return from the path you had been on, so someone must have a higher purpose in mind for you.
