I'm from California and joined the Navy When I was 19. After 6 years of service and 2 tours in Iraq my time is finally up and I can get back to doing what I love restoring and customizing cars. I have owned my fair share of rides from my 1950 Chevrolet Deluxe coupe which was my first car and a 1961 Ford Falcon I bought before I got stationed in Virginia. I Crashed the 50 Chevrolet on the 30 freeway heading to Redlands California one night and I bought the Falcon a few weeks after because I don’t like new cars and I needed a car to drive when I get to Virginia. Once I got to Virginia I hit hard times and had to sell the Falcon. I now have a 1959 Ford Fairlane and a 1950 Dodge Coronet Project. I focused most of my attention on the Dodge because its going to be my radical custom and the Ford will be my everyday Mild Custom. While stationed in Virginia I made some good friends. Some of my best friends are from the Fiends C.C. in VA Beach. One of the main members works with me at the Naval Hospital and owns a 1950 Plymouth "the Zombie" and a 55 Chevy G***er we call the sleeper because someone asked if we can turn it into a sleeper. I'm an active member of the Derby Crusers C.C. in SO Cal most of the members are from the San Bernardino and Riverside area Inland Empire. We are still trying to form an Iden***y with 4 sold members we do okay.
