new here but not new to hot rods
I was searching some stats today from my website and found this board by accident when someone posted a pic of one of my customer's rides.
Great site this is(I sound like Yoda!) A new place to play!!!
I am Lenny Schaeffer and I own and operate a hot rod building shop in Woburn MA. Currently I have everything from some high end exotics to some head turning hot rods in my shop.
Ive been building cars since the 80's and it was only in the last 3 years that people kept asking me enough that I decided to throw away my dealership management job and make hot rods my living!
I have owned everything from Ford to chevy and my current love is my 56 Chevy Belair that I build from scratch and have had since 1981.
I could go on and on but I dont want my post to sound like a job interview resume- I want people to know I am here to meet new folks and to offer any advice and help I can to keep this hobby going- and maybe meet a few new friends at the same time.
Later!Lenny Schaeffer

here is some new stuff- most still in the works but thought you may enjoy the in progress pics.Enjoy
This is a 67 Camaro pro touring ride I just began the paint on:
The 55 Belair is going to be black with traditional red/yellow flames when finished. Lots of cool metalwork on this one too:
Finished this chop on a Model A in September- just didnt have a chance to get pics up here yet:
Did the prep bodywork and paint on this ride- Maybe some of you got a chance to see it at SEMA? It was done for Snap -ON Tools:

That's one fine Allard!!! We never get any of them back here, sports cars just never were popular here in Ag country like they were out East.... Hard to even find a buildable TR-4, MG, or anything!!!!! Still wanting to build a V-8 MG coupe someday, think they were a GTB-6 or something like that..... I have come to the conclusion that I'm going to have to do some travelling to get one! Wish I lived a tad closer, sure would like to make it to your open house!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
