Like many of you, my first exposure to the hobby was an issue of Hot Rod Magazine borrowed from a friend in High School. I was blown away by the cars, and when I reached 16 bought my first car, a 48 Chevy coupe. When the babit bearings went (wouldn't take any reving at all,) I replaced the old 216 with a GMC six. Later got into sporty cars with an MG and later a Sunbeam Tiger (Ford V8) but then came marriage, kids, etc. and 4 doors. I have always retained an interest in the sport, but the responsibilities of life have put it on the back burner until lately.
I now have a slightly warmed up supercharged 1940 Graham and am currently "restoring" a 1958 MGA into which I am installing a Ford V6 and five speed. I love this forum.
