    Been sitting in the back pew for some time. Figured its time to move closer to the front and let the congregation know I'm here. Won't be doing much preaching but sure do enjoy a good sermon. My dad got me started with cars when I was young. I started packing wrenches for him when I was 3. Until the late 80s I didn't know what it was like to ride in a car that was post war or had paint. I went to trade school and have been working in various shops until 2008. I now own a custom/hotrod shop and do some modern auto repair when things get slow. I have several projects of my own. Have a 30-31 tudor and my newest is a 51 fleetline. There are other projects but this isn't the place for them. Finished up a 56 Ford ranch wagon custom for dad last year and now doing a 32 sedan for him. I think that is all for now.

    Sold our 65 nova a couple years back. Sure was a great car. Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. Going to feel things out a bit more before posting some of the other rides. My tudor is pretty cut up.

    Well here is a pic of progress on the tudor. If it doesn't go over well I will keep it to myself in the future. Looks a little rough right now but this is no rr! I'm not really sure where it fits into the realm of the hotrod world. Let me know what you guys think.

    The 32 at this point hadn't really done anything but pull off the gl*** fenders. Car was from ohio and built in the 70's.

    Might as well add the 51 while I am at it. It's rough but will make a cool sled, some day.

    As you can see I am loaded up with projects but would really like a early 30's pick up cab too. I have a flathead that needs a home!
