My name is James, I'm 22 and I think I was diagnosed with the car fever from birth, at least that's the only excuse I can think of. Inspiration came from some of my family members that also have the passion for cars. Played with my first truck in high school and college until it got hit in a hit and run in front of my house in college when nobody was home. REALLY*****ED!!!!!! That thing was my baby. .060 over 350 w/lots of goodies, pretty accurate est. 418hp/450ft lbs. 13.42 1/4. Anyway, pretty much pissed college away for 3 yrs., moved to Wyoming, went to Wyotech for a year and now have been working for Kikin Street Rods in Copperas Cove,TX for about 7 months doing what I've been dreming of for as long as I can remember. Guess I can't complain. We just got back from the Roundup in Austin and it was a blast!!!! Ya'll might've seen me cruisin the red w/yellow flames '50 merc 4 dr. If things go as planned it'll be mine by the weekend!!! Can't wait, got BIG plans for it!! I'll put pics up when I get my cam back. Well, I look forward to getting to know everybody, this seemed like a really good thing to be involved in. Thanks to all.
Thank you, Copperas Cove is about an hour N.W. of Austin, right between Killeen and Lampasas. I lived right near Houston for about seven years outside of Richmond/Rosenberg.
