    Greetings, my name’s Neil, I’ve been a hot rod and custom car enthusiast almost all my life. Growing up going to car shows and drag races and watching my dad build his ‘34 ford roadster was enough to imbed a love of Kustom Kulture from a very early age.

    I always wanted to pursue a career in custom auto paint and started from age 13 and did it professionally for over 3 years and started my own business at age 19 in 2007. then 2008 happened and business dried up over night and I moved on from custom painting to my newfound p***ion as a tattoo artist, now celebrating my 14yr anniversary as a tattooer and having my own studio for the last 5 years I’d say the universe sent me down the right path. But I still do pinstriping for friends on the side.

    I’m 35 years young (in 5 days) and I’m just over 2 years into my current project, a 1935 Chevy pickup that I’m building from the ground up, I’ll be starting my build thread for that shortly, with hopes of driving it within the next year.

    I have found so much information on this forum, it’s been an invaluable source for both helpful information and a great resource for motivation. Hopefully my build thread can do the same for future builders.

    Welcome from Tennessee. Just a suggestion, read the rules about the types of cars allowed on here. They're pretty straight-forward.

    Thank you! I just started my build thread yesterday (project: Midnight Special) and will keep adding day by day until I’m current, hopefully it brings some entertainment value!


    thank you!


    Thank you, I definitely did, I believe my project will fit the criteria pretty well, hopefully they don’t give me the ban hammer because I’m using disc brakes haha
