OK, I grew up in a small town back in the 50's of less than 500 people, Dad always had old cars around to scrap or fix and resell, Many '30's and '40's. So I always had early stuff to "PLAY" with. I have seen with my own eyes many of them cut up for scrap, what a shame. But that's how I got started. At 15 I gave the neighbor $5 for a solid rust free '38 chevy 2 door. At 16 I had put a 283 with 2 four brl carbs and a 3 speed stick in it with a 55 chevy rear end,,,,Dad put a stop to it when he saw It was about ready for the street,, hahahha I put the '55 back together and that was my first car. From that time on I was totaly hooked on HOT RODS. I have built many different cars throughout the years for others as well as for myself. The tri-5's were a big part of my life, as was others to.
Dad is long gone for many years now and I still thank him all the time for getting me started.
Maybe some day I will list all the cars I have had over my life time to share it with all, but right now it will have to wait,,,
