Greetings from Bolingbrook, IL!

Hello everyone!

I found this website looking for some answers on an old box (a topic for a future thread). I've been a shade tree mechanic since I was 16. My dad tells me a funny story of how I was but a wee boy that was just starting to walk and talk and I stumbled out in the garage where my dad was working on my mom's car. Supposedly I picked up a wrench and put it on a bolt and it was the right size, I wish I could still do that!

I've learned a lot from wandering GJ and hope to learn tons more!

Welcome to the GJ.

Thanks! How're things in Australia? I see lots of cool car features coming out of there. Ever heard of "Engineered to Slide"?

Just coming up to Summer so what could be better !
Sorry no I have not heard of "Engineered to Slide" you will need to explain that one.

It's a blog from a gentleman in Australia who has documented some of his builds, his fabrication skills are pretty impressive. I mean.. he built an entire drift ute from scratch because he didn't like any of the vehicles available, haha.
