Hot Rodding and young guys. How many are there?

22 here and constantly scaling up my shop to fit everything

 

I'm 31 and have a 62 Mercury Monterey and a 69 F-100. I love traditional hot rods and customs. I hope to have a Model A one day.

 

27 been working on cars since 14

 

37 years old, bro and I built our first car at 15 (1954 chevy), still own and drive my 59 impala from high school, and have been into this stuff for a LONG time already.

 

25 and wishing I grew up around cars. Always been interested in them and bought a 68 Mustang as my first car 9 years ago and kept it on the road as a daily for 6 years. I learned a lot but still want to learn more and start building cars. The spark is there, just can't fuel the fire quite yet.

 

16 and in high school whilst building a 1950 chevy

 

23 here.....building an AV8 and on the lookout for a 40's BIG truck to haul my crap around with. I currently drive a 1971 Dodge D200 Crew Cab - not hamb approved, but its fun as hell. I have had 57 cars so far, starting when I was about 14. Learned everything I know from my pops. working full time as a machinist and going to school full time for industrial technology/manufacturing, should be done with a bachelor's in a couple semesters. I find it extremely hard to find time to work on stuff as I have no time.....

 

im 23

 

16 years young here

have a completed 1973 camaro with a hot 407 sbc.

and am building a 1932 chevy 3 window i chopped 7" and 7 1/2" that im going to put real mag amricans on with a real old vintage hopped up 55' olds rocket in. doin it like a mid 60's show car/drag car. not exacly what most 18 yr old kids are into i guess?? hell i think im normal , all them other kids are all wrong.

 

He's 3 and a half and can tune a set of 97's on a flathead faster than anyone I know.....

 

I'm 38 yrs young. always been into cars..Japanese and German Imports....but always dreamed of Kustoms and Rods. And one day i decided to stop dreaming and get on with it. My dad had bought a '56 Chevy 210 2 door post in 1971 for $400. He passed away 3 years ago and the car went to my brother. So i went and found me a 1950 Ford shoebox. Still very new to the scene and dont know much but having fun jsut the same!!

 

Just been looking at todays birthday list.
Most are only in there 20's.
That surprised me a lot.

Me?? I'm a "young" 58 tomorrow...

 

Damn! Just hit me. I've been tooling around in Hot Rods since I was big enough to see over the dash and was always the youngest at every show I went to. Now I'm 41. I guess im not one of the young ones any more. I still act like a kid, does that count??

 

im 23, bought my first old wreck at 18 or so a 1953 chevy sedan and a few others in a lot. still haven't gotten one on the road- lotta probems with lic over here- that and i work away alot etc etc, hope to get one of the projects (17 of) going and lic in the next year or so. I only know of one other guy my age the rest are over 30/40. Because i'm out bush (200km from the city) i keep in touch via the net, and messageboards which is cool, i think i'm the only guy in my area that i know of into rods and especially kustoms.

 

From an old dude to the young dudes.....Right On !!!

Get in there, get your hands dirty and BUILD SOMETHING !!

You guys are the future !!!
