    I’m 25. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere pa (about as middle of nowhere as you can get in pa). I am an equipment designer. I love all old cars… I know most guys on here are ******** pre-64, but I am into muscle cars as well. I don’t like mullets or billet wheels. I like cars that were built back in the good old days, or at least look like they were. I like it when people don’t put small block chevys in everything. I like it when guys use parts from five different cars to build a hotrod they can call their own, just like they used to. I like patina. I like bikes too, but I mainly focus on things with four wheels…

    I have a 65 olds 442 that I am currently building. It is going to sit high like a 60's super stock car. Not straight axle, but higher than usual none the less. Steelies w/ olds dog dishes all around, skinnies in front, 8's in the rear. It’s a 461ci olds motor, 4 speed, and has a 9" rear. The interior is going to look stock with the addition of a tach. I would like to find a bench seat for it. I want the car to look like it drove out of the sixties and into my driveway. I would like to run redlines on the front and pie-crust cheaters out back…

    My old man is currently building a 53 Chevy 3100. Mustang II front end, dropped 4”, 406ci sbc, 5 speed, 9” rear. It’s mini tubbed to the frame and has some pretty big tires out back. It is going to be a neat truck, and very quick. It is actually a truck that was inside of an Old Navy store as a clothes rack from a mall about 2 hours away. It was very rough and missing a lot of stuff, but we are getting it nailed down now.

    I got the straight axle out of that and I want to use it to some day build a 50-55 olds 88 g***er. Moon tank in the front, no bumper, latter bars, hilborn injected 371 or 394 olds, 4 speed, olds rear…

    That’s about it…
