    Hey all,

    Long time listener, first time caller. Figured it's time to move from lurker to poster, as I attempt to learn as much as I can.

    Always been a car guy, sometimes a bike guy too. Currently do not have any vehicles that "fit" here, as I have been focused mainly on modern muscle, but have had muscle cars from that era as well. Currently planning my first traditional hot rod, 30/31 Roadster (like everyone else).

    Hope to learn a ton of information from everyone here, as well as contribute where I can. So much cool stuff here!

    EDIT- I feel like I should add more.

    I have always been into cars, took automotive classes in high school just to graduate. Went on to Wyo-Tech and REALLY enjoyed my time there. Majored in automotive with sheet metal fab/custom paint. After graduation I came back home to NY and spent over a decade working for a local Ford dealer as an automotive technician, and moonlighting at a local fuel injection performance shop in the evenings. Left the dealer for a brief but fun job building patrol and specialty vehicles for the NYSP. Then I got the opportunity to teach automotive technology at a local career & tech school. Have been loving that job since 2014.

    I feel it's my duty to sprinkle in hot-rodding where I can, and last year we started a project refreshing a customers 1967 Corvette.

    In the early 2000's Wyo-Tech was THE place to go. Glad I did go, I can honestly say it changed my life. Still in contact with friends from there today.

    Do not have a project yet, still looking and planning.
