hey my name's chris. im from ct, born and raised (considering im 20, there's really not much raising i guess). i got into kustoms 4 years ago when i started my first job at a local salvage yard. there was a guy there who grew up in the 50's and he just filled my head with stories about the drags and the cars. growing up, i was always into cars. my father took me to swap meets throughout my childhood and i always loved it. in april 2006 i graduated baran institute of technology, in the autobody field. i really had no desire to work for a collision shop, but to learn and excel in kustom work. here's my solid 57 olds that i picked up cheap. she needs some work, but what classic doesnt. be kind.
WELCOME to the HAMB! Good to have another young guy on board, that Olds looks like it could be a real nice ride.
Sweet! I drove out to Connecticut to p/u a Jowett Jupiter that had been found in a salvage yard. Maybe it was the same yard you worked in. Fantastic area of the country, and tasty Oldsmobile! Welcome aboard! (I'm a newbie myself!) -Tony Bittle
