    Hello all,

    First time to this forum but I've always heard alot about it over the years. I spent some time on the Ol'Skool web site and that's about it as far as postings are concerned. I retired from the military several years ago, and because I have certain skills dealing with data networks and satellite systems in the Army, they decided to hire me as a Government Service employee. Life is good right now! I have my shop at the house, work in Wiesbaden, Germany and I have some great German friends that share my hobby of old cars.

    Working on my 30 Ford Coupe right now that I put a BMW V-12 in with lots of garage built parts. Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9LUtYlzOpk

    You guys and gals have a great weekend.

    Since I live in the middle of BMW, Mercedes and Audi country, the junk yards are full of cool stuff. That's why I went with the BMW V-12 out of the 750i. Base 330 HP with 400 Foot pounds of Torque. The rest I build myself.....intake, Lakes headers etc.

    Having fun all the way.
