[COLOR=purple]Hi all I am a newbie. I am glad to have found it. Thanks for having me.
Well a little about myself. I am 32 and separated. I Got addicited to cars when I was little. I grew up in the back of a 72 Monte Carlo. My dad had that car for 14 years. it was always mint until it got hit in the right rear quarter. It was totaled and was tired of doing body work ( that is where I learned about glass) so he parted it out sold the rest fo $400 and bout a 39 Chevy business coupe. I was about 12 and he put the thing together from the ground up. It was a 2 year build. The 350/350 from the Monte went in to give it new life. He doesn't show it. I asked him why he built it. he relpied, to drive.
That was my first contact with street rods. I bought my first car when I was 17. It was my 48. I have had it a while. It sat at my parents for years. In the mean time I joined the army and becaim a helicoter mechanic. I had to work on the Apache. I did that for 6 years and got out and bought a house with my significant other(at the time) with a garage. I fianlly started to get to work. We separated 2 years ago and I lost the garage and had to put it all on hold untill I have my dram garage built.
In the mean time I am collecting parts. I have a shed full of parts. I have found my perfect powerplant and it is waiting to be built. 500+ cid Cadilac from a 1971 eldarodo!!! By the way boys, Bigger is better!!!

Welcome to CHR. Hopefully you will get your garage soon. My rod is waiting to come into the garage until it gets finished

[COLOR=purple]Hi all. I am a newbie. Let me tell you about meself. I have loved old cars since I was little. My fisr car was and still is a 48 chevy 2dr. My Daddy got me started when he built his 39 chevy coupe when I was about 12. and I bought my 48 when I was 17 it sat until I got out of the military in 99. I got alot done until my divocer in 02 and L let my ex leep the house and garage. The only place I could afford did not have a garage so it went back out to my parents farm. I am now just collecting parts in my shed. I have now aquired my power plant and am just waiting for the money to continue my first and only true love!
