Hello!
I actually came across this forum a little while back when I was hoping to see other tool or auto themed tattoos after i got my first tattoo. It is the one on my avatar. Well I started snooping around the site and found out its a perfect site for me! A bunch of guys who like and do the same thing as me.
I am 22 years old and help manage a local auto repair shop. I love building things and i enjoy building engines even more. I have been wrenching since I was 9, and was doing engine swaps by the time i was 15. I had actually built one of the fastest DD W-body Regal when I was 15. It was my brothers (who had no technical bone in his body) and I helped him with his mistakes (learned purely from clubgp.com forums and google) by him bartering beer
It ran an 11.8 without spraying the 75 shot hidden in the trunk (broken solenoid).
I have some construction experience, mostly personal, but some professional, but then gave that up to go back to do what I LOVE, CARS!
My shop moved into a new place recently and I have started with building storage, tire racks (We sell hella used tires and are prolly #1 in our area with the best selection), and I installed a lift for the first time all by myself which I am pretty proud about.
Below are some pics of my box, what I have built, what I drive, and just random. Enjoy and thanks for the awesome forum!

Project car that I needed the motor for a friends car, Hes letting me keep the car as barter for the work I am doing for him. (Turbo going into non turbo spotless 1985 300ZX. I am going to fab a GM 3800 into it, Manual RWD with dana 66 and run a decent size turbo. Will be a autocross/drag car depending on what i decide after i get the motor fabbed in. Hopefully will be running next summer.
1972 Monte Carlo Ive done most of the restoration on and my 1995 Nighthawk
My tattoo
I enjoy drinking
my bike again
my shop (was swapping generators- had to friggin reweld a whole new braket because the new one was ALOT bigger
I have some desiel/heavy load experience as well
My coworker messing with my toolbox lol
I ran a business for a while and closed it down last year. Economy is down so competition was stiff. I did mobile repairs (not roadside service, did oil changes or motor swaps in driveways, work parking lots, ect...)
the back of the van had a tommy gate to get most of my tools up on the truck. It was amazing, I am still really sad I sold the van and had to find another job. I LOVED it when the money was good. It was the best feeling and coolest setup EVER
My girlfriend doing her first oil change on her truck. (I traded Olive garden dinner, a chick flick at the movies, and ice cream after for her to do this. only took an hour! and she had to remove the intake to get to the oil filter so i'd say she did pretty good!)
