    Hello, my name is Ben. I've been living in southeastern Wisconsin my entire life, it's hot as all get out in the summer and fridgid in the winter, and I like it that way. I'm a 19 year old and I have no cars for your liking, nor do i have one that suits me, but i know what I like. I recently enlisted with the Marine Corps and I'm anticipating bootcamp. I'll be heading down to San Diego where my father tells me I won't believe the cars there, but I doubt I'll be doing much sight-seeing. If I could do any car it would be a 1933 Plymouth Roadster, minus the fenders, plus some extra motivation.
    In the mean time I've been looking for an engine to tear down. I did once rebuild a Chevy in high school, but I didn't retain much of that information. I was thinking of hunting down a Pontiac Tempest 4-cylinder. My father says they were big and heavy, and gave a new meaning to "four banger". That all sounds fun :) I would describe myself as extremely motivated, and I have a constant barage of thoughts and ideas going off in my head, I look forward to my relationship with the H.A.M.B. and look forward to the knowledge I may pickup on, and hopefully get to see what you guys are all about.
     
  2. Welcome from So Cal., about two hours north of San Diego. Good luck in the Marines and with your car search.

    Thanks to all of you for welcoming me here.

    I got a plan. I signed up for reserves duty in hopes of keeping up with my engineering degree, and I made sure i'm eligible for the G.I. bill. I also have a few plans that I find would make for a great portfolio. This includes designing, and then building a superior 26-27 T frame. I'd also like to research and develop a die for stamping someting cool(maybe car trim?) using a log splitter :). I'm familiar with the concepts of both of those things(usually not involving a log splitter), but lack even trivial experience with such processes. Right now I'm constrained to computer space. After I come back from bootcamp and infantry school, you guys may have a few interesting threads to follow.
