Hello everyone. My name's Russell Wheeler. Alot of people know me as just "Blue".I'm a 27yo self-employed artist currently residing in Brandon, Florida. I took up a career as an aircraft maintenance tech for several years while doing airbrushing and custom painting on the side. The demand for art grew enough for me to quite working on aircraft so I decided to persue art full-time. It has been a dream. Only in the past few years have I gained an interest in the hot rod scene and my interest is growing by the day. I don't have a vehicle fitting of the forum. The oldest thing I have now is a 74 olds but I am looking for something in the years of what most of you have. Til then I will continue cruizin the site enjoying all the great cars and seeing the awsome work you guys (and gals) put into them. Big thanks to the creaters of this place. It's a wonderful thing. That's it for now. --Russ

Do you ever make it out to the Plant City shows. Not too much Trad. stuff, but a good amount of cars for a saturday night.
I haven't gone out there yet. Do you know who puts that on or if there is anywhere online I can get info?
It's the 3rd Sat. every month. from 4pm'ish to 9pm'ish. A few HAMBers that I know of attend regularly. http://www.plantcity.org/carshow.htm
