New from Missouri
Hi I am 46 years old, live and breathe rods, started building hot rods right out of high school, currently finishing a 'glass 37 wildrod sedan with a early hemi, I have a '32 roadster with a blown 350 both rods being based of Henry's design. I do all my own work, I was a cabinet maker for 26 years and now in maintenance. I have been a Chevy motor fan until I stumbled into the Hemis and fell in love with them, besides that I don't really favor any specific brand. I have built more metal cars than 'glass but both of mine are glass. 30x40 shop with home built paint booth, metal lathe, band saw and all the normal everything to do it yourself type setup, resulting after many years of not being happy with others work or time frame! Like most rodders I guess! Great middle aged hobby! Two kids and a understanding wife (If your on here I would say you have the same type or you are single). Residing in rural central/south west side of Missouri at the foot of the Ozarks, great place for cruising. Great being on hereWhy is mine so big and yours so small, Chrysler FirePower

Welcome from a fellow Missourian, I'm just down the road from you in Springfield. Lot of friendly folks here and the majority love pictures although with this site it normally takes 10 posts before you can post pictures.Ken Thomas

Welcome. I lived in Branson and the city of Ozark for almost 18 years. I go through there a few times a year. Beautiful country and I miss it a bunch.The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

In today's system they probably gave points for creativity, and passed all of the little darlings to not damage their sensitive little psyche's!! :whacked:
