Greetings From Smith Lake, Alabama

Yes, I realize I haven't introduced myself yet, and I fully apologize. I joined early one morning while at work, and just really didn't have enough time then to write something about myself.
Grew up in Southern California, moved to the Memphis, TN area 17 years ago with work. Then 18 months ago, I transfered again, this time to Birmingham, AL; which afforded me the opportunity to live on a beautiful lake in the North-central part of Alabama. I'm an aircraft mechanic by trade, but I've been working on cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, and what have you, since I was a kid. My Dad always repaired everything himself, and taught me at an early age to do the same. I've built quite a few engines over the years, as well as a few manual transmissions. I've restored countless boats, and worked on quite a few Hot Rods, unfortunately though, I have never really, totally completed any of the Hot Rods, because someone always came around and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I'm in the process of ac***ulating all the parts necessary to build a 32 RPU, and that's what brought me here. Hopefully I've answered any questions anyone might have, if not, drop me an email or PM, I'll gladly answer just about any question. Thanks, Ivan
