The BIG project thread
Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 10:26 am
Howdy!! My name is Jack, and I'm a 36 year old newbie from SoCal. I've been working on cars for about 15 years, and bikes for a few years before that.
I just recently got back into thinking about paint, but have been performing minor body work for a few years when I'm not welding something for someone, or machining little doodads, or building carbs, or whatever else.
I have a lot of work ahead, so I'm glad that I found this forum!! There is a TON of great info here, and I've been reading until my eyes hurt for the past few days.
I have a total of 5 projects: a 1970 Chevelle (might be sold "as is" soon), a 1964 Buick Skylark (the one I'm working on currently), a 1956 Ford F100 panel truck (the one I've had the longest), a 1952 Ford Customline (used to belong to my ex-wife), and a 1931 Ford Model A coupe (that one's in the worst shape of the bunch). Not trying to brag with all of this, but am hoping that someone here might have similar projects, either in vintage(s), scale, or frustration.
Anyway, I'll be posting pix as I progress on the '64, and I'm sure I'll be asking a lot of questions, too!!!
