Hey There, My Name Is Tom, Im 17 From Southeast Michigan. Though I Drive A 95' Grand Prix, Hot Rods & Customs are around me all the time, i go to all the local car shows, the James Dean Run, And Autorama. I helped my Pop build his 1956 Chevrolet Bel-Air Two Door H/T, Its pink & black With a 454, 56' packard tail lights and a shaved hood and trunk. I've been tryin to get myself a classic ride for a while now, a year ago i started a Hot Rod Build, the most haggard way possiable, Drivetrain Up. Yeah, that idea flopped. Im workin on a deal right now tryin to get a 1950 Cadillac Four door post, all original right down to the 6V systems, flat black paint, thick microflake blue roof and scallops, im givin up all the money i have to my name, $3,000. I hope to get a car and get rollin, i want to just get all the ideas in my head out on a car and see what i can do. I got more parts then i need, but not enough to make a car.
Welcome to the HAMB, always cool to see younger guys into traditional cars. Good luck with your project.
Cads are kool. Keep it up. I know how you feel. I had enough Jeep parts when I was 17 that I built one. It blew up in 3 feet of mud. Now I know better and go in deeper to keep the engine cooler! I love the old cars too. Do you get out to Bakers in*****ord at all? They have some sweet shows as well. Billetproof was great as well. Dan
Thanks Guys. I used to go to bakers, i haven't been there in a while, last time i was there it was 5 to 1 corvettes. i might head up there again. Id Love To Go To BillitProof, But the 56' has got a few Billit items on it and pop doesnt want to look like a idiot. Just gotta wait till i get rollin to go.
