    Talking New member here, but not to many....

     



    Hi, I'm a 38 yr old self-employed mechanic, living in northwest IN. Been building toys since I was little, I got started on turning wrenches at 6 years old and never stopped having fun doing it.

    Some of you may know me from other forums online... I was on the original Cybercruzin RRT, have been on the new Rodding Roundtable, HAMB, Hotrodders,com, The MTS webforum, Streetrodstuff, the IFSJA website, short wheelbase BBS, etc. Been allover it seems since '97. Currently still building the Kustomsledd, see it here at Hotroddders,com ...

    Thought I'd check this place out as I found it from a link. If I like it I'll probably stay awhile...

    Looks like a great project and the work you have put into it is amazing. Can't wait to see more of the progress pictures.. Any ideas has to how you plan to paint it once the bodywork is completed? Perhaps a nice sinister black, or maybe a tri-tone blend from black to something brighter? Keep us in the loop.

    Paint on the 'sledd will be a custom mixed dark purple, with a bit of red and blue Shimrin bass boat flake in the clearcoat....

    whoo - boy lots of original ideas there, especially the Ford grafting going to look good, you obviously have a good imagination and a knack with the welder.

    Should fit right into the forums.
