Hello from SE Arizona

My name is Dave, and I joined this forum due to the suggestion on my friend of 28 years, Mike P. I have seen him build many cars, irrespective of what they were, or what drivetrain he desired. I have watched, asked questions, and learned along the way. I have done the 70's hotrod (74 Charger) as a young 19yo, a 60's muscle car (69 Superbee), and various other cars along the way that were pretty much just drivers. After leaving the military in 94, I opened up and ran a machine shop until 99. I had to close and move due to divorce, and being around my dad until he died in 10. During this time, I went back into electronics, and going to school (BSEET). After all of my dads probate items were sorted, I moved back to AZ and reopened my business; Precision Machine Service. Well, anyway, I spent last few years trying to figure out what I might want to do, and I settled on a 34 Plymouth Coupe. After talking to Mike about this idea, he made me a "Deal of the Century", lol..... I couldn't refuse his mock up hemi, so here I am, and the rest will be memorialized in internet car porn... :LOL:

You and I were typing at the same time......no wonder my ears were burning :LOL:
