All about me and my cars

I am an all around car lover. New and old. I have a 1953 Cadillac that is currently in progress. We have a 58' apache that's most likely and very hopefully gonna be out of driveway soon. Non classic wise I have a 2004 wrx wagon that I enjoy the hell out of.

Current Projects

the caddy is my first classic build and I'm going for a mild custom look. Decked, Nosed, shaved. It's in pieces now. Motor in the garage. Trunk is done. Doors are almost done. Working on the floor right now. Final product will be on air bags with a notch in the back. Hopefully laying frame. Wide whites. Tuck and roll. Hopefully I'll have a hand in doing it all... no check writing coming from this guy.

Favorite Car Memory

Driving out to antioc for billetproof in well over 100 degree weather. Wide open holes flooding hot engine heat strait on to my lap. Ice bag on my lap. Gallon of water to my right. Smile ear to ear listing to the rap of my my glasspacks and just truly enjoying the ride. That's true love right there. Course when I got home I took some black duck tape and covered up every hole I didn't need open.

Just one of a million I could come up with. I'll probably change this one soon as this beast is back on the road because I don't know if I'll ever have accomplished anything bigger than this. Learning every way. Only bigger accomplishment will be the day I see my first child born.


Have to amend this a bit....
I'd have to say that seeing my wife driving down a dirt drive in an incredible 1954 chevy bel air riding shotgun to a very dear friend of mine toward me on my wedding day would have to be number one. The sound of all the oohs and cheers when Phil dropped the bags and slammed on the car on the ground was simply perfect. Then watching my soon to be brother in law open the door for my soon to be bride... friggin hot. Incredible moment in my life that I will never forget.
