sagra

I'm 66, live near Reading, PA. All my life I been crazy about 50's + early 60s kustoms (esp wild ones)..and engines, horsepower, drag racing, etc. Painted flames on a car when I was 14 (my neighbor's 54 Merc). At 15 I lived near Atco Dragway (1961) - was jumping the fence and thrilled watching pioneers like Don Garlits, Art Arfons, Connie Kalitta, Mickey Thompson, etc. My first kustom (in 1964) was a mild kustom 55 Chevy. Got REAL car crazy in past few years (I mean 24/7 crazy) - bought some low priced, not perfect old cars/kustoms (see list above and album). I plan to do wild things with the shoebox Ford (NOT bad taste "wild"...I promise). Never worked on cars much - starting to learn as much as I can. Met some friendly, helpful PA HAMBers and eager to meet more - hang out - maybe get some mechanical tips/experience. I spend a lot of time in Cape May County, NJ - would like to connect with HAMBers there too. To help explain why I chose a weird ID like "sagra", there's a picture of a tropical Sagra beetle in my album....looks kinda like a kustom, huh?
