    Sorry that it's taken me so long to introduce myself on the message board. My son, a faithful HAMBer told me I need to get with the program.

    I've been building hot rods since I was in high school in the early sixties. I discovered hot rodding in the late '50's while looking through a Hot Rod Magazine. I think the article was entitled "Buckingham Transfer" or something like that, about a channeled '30 roadster. I guess I never recovered.

    I've been involved in automotive construction and restoration work for many years. I still own my first car, a '29 Ford tudor, and I am rebuilding the '29 Woody Wagon my kids rode in while they were young. I sold the car to a friend in my small home town and bought it back from his widow after a fire destroyed his business. I'll try to download a few pictures. The last shots show the rear wheel aprons that I just completed. They were a difficult project!

    I really admire our members and their craftsmanship and their willingness to share their knowledge and experiences with other members. Way to go guys!
