    Hey all,

    I'm just a kid from Wisconsin who loves his old cars and just wants to learn. Pretty simple. Spend my summers driving to car shows in my 1961 ford falcon tudor wagon...black suede, baby moons, rumbling v8. I work at a marina on outboard motors. Got my love for old cars from my dad, whos currently working on building a 32 roadster. He's very particular with how a car looks. Very traditonal. Not a whole lot of extra cash, so it'll be long after I've moved out and such that it's finished. Learned my little mechanical know-how from my dad and the head mechanic at my job. He's just about 70, and worked for the Ford garage for a long time in the 60's and 70's, has been working on boat motors for a long time as well. He's also very particular. "A real Hot Rod doesn't have valve covers" is one of his favorite sayings. I think he does it just to pick on me. :D He is quite the book of knowledge. I want to open my own shop some day, if I ever gain the expirience and knowledge.

    Thanks for reading!
