Hey fellas! How's it goin'? My name is Harrison, but feel free to call me Harry. I spent the first 16 years of my life outside of Chicago, and moved to Cowpens, SC a little over 4 years ago because of my dad's job. Anyway, I've been interested in old school American cars since about 2002 when I was in 7th grade. An older buddy of mine had a '65 Impala that had a 396ci with nitrous on it, and the first time I heard that thing start up I fell in love with muscle cars. Recently for the better part of 2 years I've been gettin' more and more interested in hot rods and customs, and it hasn't slowed down one bit! I bought my first car at 15. She's a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am and my twin brother and I have been (very) slowly workin' on gettin' her back in shape. For our High School graduation we got a 1973 VW Westfalia that we want to build a nasty rod out of (unusual, I know, but why not?) I want my next project to be a '34 Roadster, but it's gonna be a while cuz of my other projects and stuff. I recently graduated from the Blairsville, PA WyoTech campus from their Collision/Refinishing course along with the Street Rod/Custom Fab and Business cl***es. It was pretty much 12 months of hell, but I'm now workin' at a custom shop in Piedmont, SC called Noone Customs doin' paint and bodywork. I love custom paint, pinstriping, and lowbrow art as well. Just FYI. lol Thanks for stoppin' by, and sorry for the long post! -Harry
