Hot Rodding and young guys. How many are there?

I'm 21, been into hot rods and vintage stuff my whole life. If the day ever comes where I get out of school and get my loans paid off the first thing I'm doing is building a couple rides. I daily drive a '68 C10 and have my big plans for it, but the next project is definitely gonna be something more traditional.

 

turned 20 last week ben doing it for two years wanted to my whole life. money sucks. built my own 56 pu about to build a early roadster worked on many costumer cars at my shop almost everything u can think of. i go to alot of car shows always thought there would be more of us haven't met any real ones yet except a pinstriper

 

Im 21 my first drawings as a Kid where cars from my dads street rodder magazines so ive pretty much been a rodder my whole Life and its hard as hell finding money to put into the 53 Chevy while trying to work, do College and play in a band...but one day she will be done.

 

im 24. started when i was 10 with a 57 chevy and have since graduated to a 31 ford. im excited cause im finally graduating college in april which means i can get back to building it after 5 years of waiting

 

20 year old bartender in center city philly about to start my next build 56 olds 88 with a 324 rocket.

ill go through the rundown quick

1955 jeep cj5 restored f134 and 3 speed.
1956 jeep cj5 parts/title jeep
1966 jeep cj5 231 oddfire dauntless v6
1971 jeep cj5 231 oddfire, 4bbl, electronic ignition, hei, mated to a 4spd sagnaw sideloader, to a t18 dual lever transfer case, with an external warn overdrive. (driving with 4 levers is awesome. The thing had 16 forward gears, and 4 reverse and it was a daily driver.

Then the bmw stage started when i was in college and needed a car that would "start every morning" and "had a top" and a heater"
1990 325i

1995 cavalier
2004 f350

then i got sick of cars sold the last one moved to the city and bought a motorcycle
1977 suzuki gs400, went with a cafe racer style build. all blacked out, currently on dual sport tires because ive been driving it every day, even in the shitty snowy philly streets.


anyone local to the philly area feel free to shoot me a message, its cool to find people around here that are into cool shit aside from all the hipster art fags that wish they were rockabilly with their gay flatblack and red wheeled fix gears and skinny jeans

 

I'm 17, bought an early falcon when I was 15 that i've dropped a 250 2V and C4 into, rebuilt painted with a bit of a custom touch.

32 here, been into this shit since I was bout 5! Mostly then I was around my ole man's Packards and Imperials, but found his stash of the lil books-learned of his hot rodding past in the 50's. I was hooked on hot rods since! I love the classics yet, so a Caddy mill and Packard dash reside in my A... My dad will be 69 this year and he still has the spirit and drive of a 30yr old, he'll smoke em tires like he's 18!

 

I'm 25 and working on my 54 Caddy and 48 GMC pickup. Been into hot rods since I can remember thanks to my dad and uncles. While growing up my dad had a 56 F-100 and a 55 Chevy belair. My uncle had a 53 merc and the other uncle had a 48 dodge pickup, so I was always around the garage learning to turn wrenches.

 

I am 26. I have been into cars my entire life. I wasted a little bit of time on hondas and mini trucks when I was younger. I finally got my life straightened out and it's all hot rods now.
