Yellow,......from East KY

[Copper head]

Hello everyone.

Been registered for a few years now, just haven't got around to posting anything,.....until now. I hail from a little town in Kentucky called Pikeville.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pikeville,_Kentucky

I'm 44yrs old and been married about half my life. I got one 16yr old son,......that starts driving in a few months.

As far as my pad goes,.....
I've got a small 24x24 attached garage that I work out of. I feel like I have 10lbs of stuff in a 5lb box at times,......LOL

I mainly do automotive projects along with a few things with SxS's & ATV's from time to time. I like building most of my own stuff. I enjoy the fabricating part of Hot-Rodding the most.

I have Mig & Tig welders at my disposal, as well as Oxy/Act torch set, 5hp/60gal Air Compressor with several Air & Hand tools that I've acquired over the years.

My pride & joy that I built is a 1993 Ford Lightning twith a 598 cu in Big-Block FORD (no GM / Off brand stuff in my rig) that puts out 1000hp (Naturally Aspirated). A LOT blood sweat & tears went into the build. I've owned it for almost 20yrs.

Just bought a few more tools to work with,.........
A Porter Cable Drill Press,........and a DeWalt portable Band-Saw. I plan on getting a Swag Off-Road table for the saw.

Copperhead: you've been a member a lot longer than i have, but i probably lurked on GJ for many years before i joined. i joined to ask questions and i bet a good 1/3 rd of my posts are asking questions.

anyway i have to say that is too good looking of a truck not to post more pictures and if you want to I (we) would love to see more if you can.

before you let your 16 year old drive something like that make sure he sees some videos with some blood in them before he gets behind the wheel.

thanks for re introducing yourself and maybe we'll hear more from you in the future because it sure looks like you have the talent.
