Hey all, I've never posted an intro, so here goes... I am self employed, owner of a graphics design and production business located in Preston, ID. My business sponsors the Blue Light Station Car Show in Preston, ID, which is going on its 3rd year. I've been involved with cars and motorcycles for many years. I've got a '55 Ford F100 - my daily driver during 3-seasons of the year for 5+ years now. I've also got a '64 GTO undergoing complete restoration, a '64 GrandPrix which I completed last summer...until I decided do rebuild the motor due to a cracked lifter. It should be ready for the road (and shows) this spring. I'm currently working the body of my wife's '68 Mercedez 250SL (not traditional uh?). A totally stock, beautiful car that just needs a fresh paint job and minor updates. My next significant project is a '38 Chev Master Deluxe. I scored a 261cu straight six to replace the old 216cu. It'll have a 2x1 intake and T-5 trany. I'm really looking forward to this project. Finally, I've got a '51 GMC 1-ton that I'm intending to restore to a car/toy hauler. On the MC side, my pride and joy are a '78 BMW R80/7 and a 2005 HD Springer. Also, I just completed rebuilding an old '71 Honda CL350 - a duplicate of the 2nd motorcycle I owned growing up. My boys will have some fun with it now. I don't build or buy anything for trailering, all my projects, ambitions, and interests are for driveable, usable vehicles. I've got 4 "kids", two of them married, one in college and one in H.S and a very understanding and patient wife. My oldest son works in the graphics business with us and helped me with the F100 project. During that project he caught the car bug in a big way. He's got a '53 GMC panel project that keeps him from having much spare time or money. My youngest son is a budding car buff. We've acquired a 50 Chev 4-door sedan that he's planning on driving to school when he gets his drivers license. This will be a primer rod. It's got the 216cu in it. Once we get it home we'll see what shape the motor's in. caio, -mark
Hey dad! Glad to see you can actually post to the forum! For everyone else, I am the oldest son with the panel truck project! -Panelrodder
