Youngster told me to come check this place out, as there was some good info. I'm impressed with what I have seen so far. I just picked up my first project thats nearly 80 years old, but its not a T-bucket, so I will probably stick mostly to reading.

But anyways, I'm a young guy, and I've been tinkering with cars since I was about 13. Worked in my uncles off road shop for a while until he closed the doors to do something else. I now run my own chassis fabrication shop, and I am having a great time. That said, most of my time spent will probably be the frame and suspension sections. Thats what I like, and thats where most of my knowledge lies.

TWISTED! Man, I loved following your work on Hotrodders! Guys, this dude is the automotive version of a prodigy! His work for his age is mind boggling!

Great to have ya aboard, man. Now... you just need to get the fever.:lol:
 
Welcome Seth. I read your posts on SSM regularly. We spoke briefly at Drop Zone last year. Only briefly because You were strapping down the stuff in your truck preparing to leave, and I was carrying a big heavy trophy :lol: also preparing to leave. You probably don't remember me, but might remember my truck...

Thanks guys!

LKE, I do remember talking to you right as we where leaving. I oogled at your truck for a while at the show.

Fred, I may already have the fever! Lol. I'm not building a T at this point, but I'm building a tub starting with a 30 Chevy cowl.
 
Welcome Seth :rolleyes: OK so when do we get to see the Chevy Tub? :ciao:
 
Well its not a tub yet, just a cowl I bought with a title. I'm going to frame it out, and build a tube for it. I bought a bead roller, and I am gong to machine some dies to replicate the body lines, and form the rest on my English wheel. Here is a picture of the cowl.

I have a 36 Ford front axle and bones, and 40 Ford brakes, and 36 Ford wide 5 wheels. Aside from that I want the rest to be Chevy. I picked up a Chevy 250 inline 6, and a TH350, and a 10 Bolt axle from a friend. And I think I found a stock grill shell and radiator to use.
 
Nice.............:lol:
 
To have that much talent Seth, is surely a wonderful gift. Thank you for sharing it with us.
