Hey, from Kansas. I'm a huge fan of the traditional styles of Ed Roth, Kenny Howard, etc. and into traditional hotrods, choppers and bikes, as a hobby/side job I've restored or built several VW's, rods, and motorcycles over the years. I've always admired old bikes and have had a 69 Stingray for several years I will take to carshows etc. with me. (It looks especially good strapped into the back of my 69 VW single cab pickup). Thanks to a career change 3 months ago I have found myself with a lot of extra time and have been spending it redoing a few bikes. My first was a quicky simply called the Rat Fink bike. The next one I just finished is a 1957 Schwinn Hornet with a little hot rod flare. I'm currently working on a 57 Corvette, that will be done like a giant Stingray.

Thanks all for the welcome. I've been lurking for a while and knew I'd feel at home, I'm just usually spending more time in the shop building, chopping, or painting somethig than I do on the computer, but with the weather latly I haven't been able to sand blast or paint my latest project so I thought I'd sign on. Glad I did.

Jon, I know the bars your talking about...just live a few miles from there. :D
