    Welcome to the HAMB. I share your Aviation background as well. Amazing how much of our instinct to fabricate/modify automobiles comes natural after years of experience in Aviation. Wish I still had access to all the tooling. I finally changed careers back in 2002 and never looked back. Look forward to running into you at the Round Up or the races out at Little River. Again, Welcome......

    I graduated from North Texas (guess that tells you why I'm an old fart)

    Lived in an old building called "the Castle" think it was a bait shop or something at one time.

    Of course West Texas is not in west Texas either. Got a great state don't we.
