    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 here

    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.

    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.

    Welcome! I'm a little south of St Louis; great to see another Missourian on here. Sounds like some fine iron you've got in the stable.

    Welcome from central Iowa! It definitely sounds like you have some nice rides! I have a 40 Ford Tudor I'm doing a frame off on and putting a 354 in with a 46rh trans. I saw your avatar and was immediately intrigued.

    Welcome aboard, sounds like you can contribute well.

    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.
