    from Heber, UT

    What's up? I grew up riding dirt bikes with my old man out in the desert. He was always telling me stories about his '56 Chevy Nomad. He had it balanced and blue printed, and if it wasn't for his girl at the time, who lugged it up a hill and destroyed the valve train he'd probably still have it to this day.

    Anyway, I worked on bikes with my dad all through my childhood. My first road bike was a Yamaha Vmax. But my heart was never in it and I sold it and bought my first Harley. Since then it's been a love affair with working on my Harley's. I'm slowly "bobbing" my fat boy, and have since fell in love with rat rods and hot rods- the grand dad of American muscles cars.

    Well, the long and the short of it is I'm getting a divorce, and am excited about starting a new project. I've to two projects that I''m working on. A model A that've never seemed to start, and a 1955 Ford Truck. I'll start another thread and post some pics. I can't tell you how much I've already learned reading through the post the past several weeks. Thanks in advance for all your help and patients. Now fasten your seat belts 'cause it's on like Donkey Kong.

    Laters, Ryan
