Just a garage rat,I'm a hands on build it yourself person,I like anything with wheels or wings,the older the better.my first memories was a neighbor who i'm still friends with today had a early thirties chevy coupe all original(still has it),the next door neighbor a teen at the time all mopar guys( all their cars were orange with black graffics,demon,super bee and a winged datona)needed sunglasses when they all showed up.down the street there was a custom painter who had a 67 camaro that he repainted every year,was in car craft some time in the 70's ,candy ribbon paint jobs.up the street was a guy they called pinto pete was a back halfed blue sbc 350 drag car so I would ride my bike around and bother all these guys asking questions reading old hot rod mags,my juices were flowing to the point were my late uncle gave me a rusted out t- bird and taught me body work ,I was 12.30 years many cars later I still eat sleep breathe dream old cars. i went from building drag cars to my love of old hot rods and customs.I'm lucky to have many old timers that I knew as a kid and can listen to all there stories over and over,now having some of my own.I own a louver press just to make money for my projects.Love building my own and restoring old tools
