    My name is Troy and I live in San Clemente, CA. As you can probably tell from my ***le, I'm a proud new first time dad of a 7 week old baby boy. I grew up in a car family and started attending car shows and swap meets across California's central valley with my dad and grandpa before I can even remember. I plan on doing the same with my baby boy. I think it's important to keep the "old car" p***ion alive in today's youth.

    There is nothing better to me than a period correct 60's custom or hot rod. They just got it right back then. My latest project is a 61 Olds Dynamic 88 two door sedan. I plan on eventually doing a "mild" custom look on the car. I just purchased an offy dual quad setup for the newly rebuilt 394. I thought it would be a great look on a rare car like that. One of the few mechanical upgrades I will be doing is dropping a 700R4 in it. Those old roto-hydramatics are just too tempermental and this thing needs to be a driver!!!

    Anyways, I have plans on giving this car to my boy when he turns 16. Not only do I want him to have the coolest car at his high school, I figure my wife can't argue with me as much about spending money on the Olds if I tell her it's for our son. We'll see how that goes! Haha..

    Well that's me in a nutshell. Thanks for reading.
