Hi there, my name is Ian from Sussex, England, UK. I've been interested in and around Hot Rods and Customs since the mid 60's. in my teens. My first Yank was a 68' Ford Failane which was replaced by my 66' Chevy police car replica, which introduced me to exhibiting in what was some of our Major car indoor shows along side some reputable rod builders this side of the pond ! which i'm sure inspired alot of us today. Mind you theres alot of inspiration from the US. I then moved on to a 66' Mustang, 69' Mustang Fastback, 70' Dodge Challenger, 74' Corvette, 57' Chevy, Pro-Steet 55' Chevy, 32' Hi-Boy Roadster and to my present ride a Blown 48' Chevy Panel Delivery. Its been great over the years to meet and make good friends with Guys and Girls with a similar interest in the Hobby. May it long live. I hope to talk to others with this addition !!!.
Hi Ian, I'm a newbie here also. That's a very nice looking delivery. You're doing the opposite that my son and I've done. We currently have 2 Minis. My son has a 60' Morris Mini that he's currently trying to sell. He's also owned 2 others. I currently have a 76' Clubbie and just recently sold my 60' Austin Seven Mini. You can see them here: http://www.kandylandpoodles.com/minipage/minipage.htm We are now transitioning to hotrods. We currently are working on a 41' Chevy 2 dr. sedan (streetrod style). Again, welcome. Kelly
Nice to hear from you Dave. I,m coming over to Washington DC for the Christmas Holiday week. Do you or any of the local guys know of any Rod/Custom shops in the district. Ian
