I AM NEW TO THE HAMB. I AM A 30 YEAR OLD, 2ND GENERATION HOT RODDER. I LIVE IN SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON. I AM MARRIED, 2 KIDS WITH A 3RD ON THE WAY. I HAVE A 52 CHEV 2 DOOR SEDAN THAT I GOT GOING ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO. I AM A DO-IT-YOUR-SELFER, SO OF COURSE I DID ALL THE WORK MY SELF, EXCEPT FOR SQUIRTING THE BLACK PRIMER, WITH THE HELP OF MY DAD AND MY UNCLE. I ALSO HAVE A 50 CHEV 3 WINDOW PICKUP. AS OF NOW IT IS SITTING IN THE FIELD WAITING FOR ITS TURN IN MY SHOP. I AM A JOURNEYMAN SHEET METAL WORKER BY TRADE. I HAVE A BUSINESS DOING METAL FAB, METAL ARTWORK, ORNAMENTAL IRON WORK, AND HOT ROD WORK...ON THE SIDE. I AM WANTING TO HEAD TOWARDS USING MY PLASMA TABLE TO CUT BRACKETS, FLANGES, FLOOR PANS.....I ALSO PURCHASED A COUPLE FRAME JIGS A FEW MONTHS AGO, SO HOPEFULLY SOON I WILL BE MAKING 32, 33, AND 34 FORD FRAMES. I JUST NEED TO CATCH UP ON A FEW OTHER PROJECTS FIRST!! I HAVE BEEN A AWS D9.1 CERTIFIED WELDER IN THE RECENT PAST (I FORGOT TO RENEW MY CERT, SO I HAVE TO RE-TEST). AS FAR AS MY HOT ROD HISTORY, I GREW UP AROUND CARS. MY DAD IS AN OLD SCHOOL HOT RODDER FROM THE LONGVIEW AREA. I GREW UP IN THE GARAGE, MY SENIOR PROJECT IN HIGH SCHOOL WAS HELPING MY UNCLE BUILD A 37 FORD BUSINESS COUPE. I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE I SHOULD PUT IN HERE, SO I GUESS I WILL LEAVE IT AT THAT. THANKS FOR THE FUTURE HELP, AND LET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP YOU IN ANY WAY, JEFF.
