Hi all,
I've been a lurker for a long time, but recently registered and started posting. My name is Billy and I live in Midlothian, VA, just outside of Richmond.
I've been into cars, wooden boats, mechanical repairs and woodworking since I was little. I used to manage a repair/performance shop that specialized in RWD Volvos and assorted other European cars while I was in college/grad school. I also have a minor obsession with R/C cars, especially older HPI Nitro junk. One day, I'll get around to restoring our 1964 Century Coronado which was damaged during Hurricane Sandy (in NJ).
I don't have a garage at the house, but I have a decent aggregate driveway and a 10'x10' gambrel shed I'm in the process of optimizing. My friend and I share a 1500 sq-ft shop just north of the city, in Hanover, VA, with a lift, air, and full woodshop (he's a carpenter by trade). Together, we tinker on sports cars (Lotus Elan, Nissan 350Z, DMC12, e30) and go to track days. Would like to start brewing beer again, once the pandemic eases.
I recently picked up a 1976 Red/Gray Craftsman toolbox from an estate sale. Lucky me, it was full of great older tools. I posted in the gallery thread about those boxes already, but in case you missed it, pics are attached.
The amount of knowledge and passion possessed by you all on this site is impressive. I'm looking forward to browsing the project threads and seeking inspiration in your projects. My wife is not looking forward to the influence I stand to gain from being on the site.
