Hello All!
I have been a car nut my whole life, but have been without a rod for a while now. I need to start a project I know I can finish! My wife says that's a rare event around here. :lol:
I found this forum talked about on the HAMB, so I thought I would head on over.
I actually worked for a guy back in the mid to late 70's when I was younger who built street rods, including T-Buckets and their related components. His name was James Kirby and his company was called Challenger Street Rods. I wasn't much more than a floor sweeper at first, but I eventually learned a ton. It's where I got started learning how to machine and fab.
Since then, I have spent the last 30 years of my life as a precision machinist and fabricator for the high-tech and aerospace industries. I would love to say most of that experience was spent building cars, but no such luck. A man has got to eat. :neutral:
I have heard good things about this list with its friendly and knowledgeable people who populate it! I look forward to making a contribution soon myself.
Take care all!
David
