Hi HAMB, long time lurker, first time poster. Live in NJ, have had a long interest in rods, but presently don't drive anything more interesting than a commuter box. Don't have much of a personal history I can point to build wise, except an inherited one, my Dad could pretty much machine and fix whatever came his way (he was a methods engineer from Bendix's glory days, and had a machine shop in his garage), and my Grand Dad was actually Barney Oldfields mechanic when he was at Winton driving Bullets. Other than that I'm a soon to be empty nester who will be looking for a project someday.
