Hey All, This is Charles from Oklahoma. I work for a guy here in OK that has an extensive car collection, which includes some classics and brass era stuff, but we like our customs as well. We are currently working on a 1933 Miller Indy Car, a 1931 Ford Roadster Pickup, and my 1932 Packard Standard 8 Club Sedan. I get the privilege of working on these cars, taking care of the rest of the collection, and running the machine shop (something has to pay the light bill) and they give me a check every week to do what i really enjoy. Life doesn't get much better than that.
We can't just take your word for it, we need pictures - lots! Welcome to the club. Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE smartphone
Welcome Charles. Do you work on the 1913 yellow Mercer? It ran really well last weekend at the Millers Milwaukee Meet. Best Regards Carl Schulz Indio, CA
Welcome CB - it sounds like you are livin' the dream - good for you. Enjoy it, and enjoy your time here on the HAMB too Cheers.
Thanks guys. I'll throw in a couple of pictures. Yes I get the honor of working on the 1913 Mercer race car. I was at Milwaukee for the first time this year. That is the event if you are into vintage racing. Pretty laid back and tons of cool cars. Here are a few more from the shop..... The first picture is looking down the showroom. The second picture is the 1913 Mercer Indy car in the showroom, and the last picture is the 1903 Packard Grey Wolf racecar that set the land speed record in 1904 and the Lightning Rod Electric Streamliner that holds the record for its class at Bonneville.
