Hey Fonz, Im a newby here also. We have a bit in common, my pops went AWOL when I was four.. didnt have a grandpa so I kinda got the shaft when it cam to learning stuff a boy needs to be "lernt" but its all good. Like you said, everything happens for a reason.

Im 30 and just got my first "real rod" - Iv put 4 choppers together now and Iv also done a 68 VW bug.. all self/forum internet taught.. I have a long way to go and looks like the fellas here are a good help too.

anyway, Ill see ya around.
