Just Landed from Mars!

Hello, My name is Victor and use our family patriarch from the 1500"s name as my user name. I'm new on HAMB and think there maybe a new addiction brewing here. I've been turning wrenches since I was seven and took apart my wagon to make a flat bed trailer for the garden tractor out of wood so I could be like my dad. That was 44 years ago.
Today I'm the father of three. My step son is married and my son is heading off to college this fall, or maybe not. My daughter is terrified her friends might see in the garage if I open the door and I'm married to a wonderful woman who excepts me as is.(not trying to fix me any more, in other words).

I'm a MoPar nut at heart and owned a 69 Super Bee. Grew up cruising Friday and Saturday nights and really enjoy other folks p***ions for all things automotive. I'm saddened by the loss of the young folks stuck on video games instead of doing hands on stuff.

I've made a living driving trucks, sold real estate for awhile and enjoy reading. Favorite place is Galts Glutch, named after John Galt.

Pulling my first car out of moth balls and plan on finishing it over the next few years. Here's a link to that thread.
