Damn Jim,
I helped my Dad out when I was 11 or 12, putting in the BBC in his (at that
time) '57. The need for speed when I turned 16 was evident, and ready for me
as well.
I'm the same age as you and over the years have done lots of hotrodding and
lots of plain-jane resto, although most of the original resto has been in the
last 10 years or so. After aone more original resto, my next few projects
are back to hotrod/streetrod.
But the purpose of my reply to you is that I just realized I'm out of the
closet now, and can be considered Bi-restosexual:)
