I became a member what seems like forever ago. Then I quit my "real job" and began traveling the country as a free-lance metal fabricator...a hot rod ***** of sorts (I'll do anything hot rod related for money as long as I don't have to get another one of those real jobs.) Anyhow, I'm back in the mother state of PA for a spell and some buddies said there was someone here looking for info on the Raven I built about 6 1/2" years ago. So, that inspired me to look up my old p***word and check back in with da HAMB. I was a mechanical engineer turned hot rod & auto customizer instructor at one of those tech schools...perhaps some of you have heard about it, WyoTech. After six years there I resigned as the department coordinator at their new Blairsville, PA campus. Now I have my own shop, Dagmar Customs, but spend most of my time traveling to other shops helping them when they need some metal fab work done, writing tech articles for the magazines and occasionally fiming some TV stuff. As for projects, I have more than my income will allow me to build. That's why I'm looking to marry rich. I'll attach a few pix in the future of the '54 F-100, the Raven, the '39 Ford PU, and the '60 Invicta. There are more but these are the ones I actually work on. Oh, I'm also known as Matthew Harris...
