Well, I will start out by saying that I have learned a lot in a short amount of time by being on this board. I had a friend recommend me and I am impressed by the amount of talent and creativity that goes along with the membership. I have always loved custom vehicles and scooters and my addiction started early when at age 3 we acquired a rup mini-bike. I progressed to other two and four wheelers and have come to realize that after I finish building a car or scoot I have to sell it cause it is no fun after it is finished. I have a 70 Triumph hardtail, a 64 VW bug and just acquired a 66 Chevy C-10 fleetside. I have been on the jockey journal for a while and know that it started on this thread. The bike has Ceranni forks, Borriani wheels, Barnet hubs, Barnes seat and a bolt on hard tail with some other goodies. The VW is a european model with a 4" narrowed beam, dropped spindles, BRM wheels and a few other things. The 66 I picked up is the current project and has a nasty 355ci motor, 350 trans, 12 bolt rear, and I have a grocery list of items to put on it. I will lower and bag the truck while doing a 5 lug disc conversion and other upgrades. My screen name is Pipeworx as that is the name of my business I run after my usual 9 to 5. I am a certified tig welder and mostly build chromoly cages for drag cars along with tube chassis and the occasional motorcycle frame and modifications. I have had all types of bikes and cars and really enjoy fabricating metal and hope it will lead me to a shop where I can learn more and apply the skills I have. Well, thanks for the opportunity to join this website and the use of all information that is contained within. I also went ahead and became an alliance member to help show my support of this site.
