    I am 17 and bought a 55 chevy pickup at age 12. Lots of kids are getting out of classic cars and more into supercars and stuff.

    I'm rather young 35 but still cars have always been a part of my life. I never grew up around hot rods or customs. I didn't have anybody in my family that was into cars or such. We were all too poor to afford anything other than our daily beaters. I'd hear stories from uncles about their cars but never saw them. Everything I've gotten has been on my own. I was blessed to be able to help my buddy with his race car and be apart of that for the last eight years.

    I'm 19, learned how to wrench with Volkswagens. I've always wanted to build a hot rod for as long as I can remember, I'm looking for a '30-'31 A coupe right now.

    In AUstralia, 25yr old. built and played with cars since i was a kid:

    - 39 Plymouth sloper
    - 49 Dodge Kingsway Custom
    - VC Valiant Safari wagon

    without an old car atm but looking for a nice 49-50 Mopar coupe but they are IMPOSSIBLE to find over here so looking for a descent one in the US to import over here but havent really got the contacts so its slim pickings for a descent car.

    I know how that is, been working on my 30 coupe for about the same amount of time. I got a lot of work done, but I learned so much about fab in the first year that I didnt like the quality of work I had done to it, so after about a month of fighting with myself I cut her all apart and pretty much started over. Probably a stupid move but if I didn't do it it would have haunted me forever. Had my 91 5.0 since I was 17-it was the affordable hot rod for my age. Now its just old all the way.

    I am 52 but still young at heart. I have been around old cars as long as I can remeber. Being around older cars can take you back to the good old days and some sweet memories.
