Iowa boy checking in with pics

What's up guys, I have been lurking here for a LONG time but finally registered and figured I would introduce myself. I'm a 27 year old car fabricator out of Des Moines Iowa and I am into a little bit everything stylistically and work on everything and enjoy everything from twin turbo Vipers, to 60's muscle, to sleds, trad rods, rat rods, etc....literally dig almost anything mechanical including doing a fair amount of brit bike stuff. I like to work on high end modern builds and show that the fab work can still be done using the old techniques and methods. I like to make my parts, not have a computer CNC them for me. I have learned so many techniques from this board and there are a lot of guys here that have forgotten more shit then I'll ever know and that's why I'm here....to learn and sharpen my skills and make contacts with like minded guys.

Anyway, here are some of my current projects. The first one is FAR too modern for this crowd but it's been a 2 year project nearing it's end that I am happy to see moving under it's own power. 94 Cobra running a Twin Turbo 510 c.i. stroked Viper V10 with Tremec T56. I fabbed all the front and rear suspension, cage, headers, oil pan, turbo system, etc. The most intensive build I've taken on. 900-1000 rwhp on pump gas.

Then there's my 69 Fastback. 408 stroked windsor, tremec 5 speed, awaiting some trans am treatment, brakes, and paint....those wheels were just roll it around. Has much better stance now as well

And my 69 Triumph T100. Running a Low Brow 6" stretch 2.5" drop hardtail, has since received a 45 degree rake but otherwise untouched....another work in progress.
