How long have you been building?
I am 51 now and have been building bikes and cars since I was a kid. MY dad was a gearhead so I spent lots of time with him building old cars and attending car shows and swap meets.
Club Affiliations
I am not a member of any club but have become friends with The Road Rockets in Indy... I have displayed at their shows of the years.
Your future plans?
