    I've been on here browsing around for a while and never actually introduced myself. My name is Glen and I'm from Harrisburg PA. Right now Im trying to finish up a 1950 Olds Rocket 88 that I got from fellow Hamber Filthyrat666. Since joining here I've met a handful of cool people that are more than willing to help out in any way they can.

    I come from an auto body background, having gone to a tech highschool and then working in a few collision shops for about 4-5 years. I realized collision wasnt my thing and decided to keep it to a hobby and not a career. I think if I could ever land a job working on nothing but rods and kustoms I'd be happy, but for now workin in my cramped one car unheated garage is enough.

    I look forward to chattin with, learning from, and possibly helping out everyone here.

    Thanks for the welcome everyone. No worries about the shirts man, I forget to send the damn tape measure back to ya too. I got the front brakes done, just gotta get the switch in now. I also fixed the drivers side handle, as long as I dont lock the door it works, hah. How's that buick coming along?

    That does look pretty sick. I cant wait to see that thing done, its such a big car. Its something that demands to be noticed, hah. I had the Olds running for a while today, Just got 2 read door windows on ebay. All I need now are shocks. That and to figure out the wiring, hah.
