My name is Jeff and I live just outside of Milwaukee, WI. I have worked for a wholesale auto auction company as a manager for the past 17 years. My dad owned a speed shop / used car lot when I was growing up so I caught the bug early.

The Red Witch has been the inspiration for my project since I first saw it when it was owned by a local guy here in the Milwaukee area.

Since its been sitting for the last few years, I've been getting pressure from some of the younger guys at Air Ride to bring the car back out for the Power Tour next year. My problem is if I start "taking a few things apart to fix them"...it turns into a 1000 hour leave-no-stone-unturned refurbish job. No that I have a problem with that, but I want to do it at my own pace. I did look at it the other day [its resting comfortably in my neighbors garage]...WAY too tempting to tear into it!
Thanks for the kudos...I'll get some pix up over Christmas.

[Overkill]

Small town in east central Illinois called Paris. Just across the state line from Terre Haute, Indiana. I've worked as a computer systems administrator for Indiana State University for a little over a year now. Before that I was the senior systems administrator for Palm, Inc. in Santa Clara/Milpitas/Sunnyvale, California. In my free time I spend a lot of time in my hobby shop working on my Camaros, 4-wheel drives, sand rail, ATV's, drag cars and demolition derby cars or out in my woods playing with the toys. As you can guess for a 35 year old, I'm single, never married, no kids, and lots of friends.

I'm from Belle Plaine, MN...A tiny little town 40 miles SW of Minneapolis. I live there with my wife Kelly, my 2 beagles, and my '65 GTO, '67 Chevelle wagon, '50 Buick Super, and custom '94 S-10. (We have daily drivers too, but who cares about them?)

I came here from the West Coast where I'd been the Tech Editor at Popular Hot Rodding for 7.5 years. Now I've been the founding Editor of Street Thunder magazine for the last two years.

I really like it here. Now, my wife is pregnant with our first child, who should be joining us in July. Between the magazine, the house, the wife, the dogs, and the baby on the way, I'm pretty busy...but I always try to find time for my cars.

Luckily, making progress on my cars counts as 'work' most of the time...which totally rules...

You work on Space Shuttles? Thats very cool. I bet your work has to be fun.

[awr68]

I was born in Portland, Oregon (35 yrs. ago) but raised about 30 min. west in Hillsboro and I still live there....it just feels like home and it's a good place to raise my son. I've been married to Jennifer for 12.5 years and we have a beautiful 2 year old son Bryce, and yes he loves cars and tools!!

I'm the Finishing Supervisor for Roseway Partitions Inc. We do metal framing, insulation, sheetrock/taping, acoustical ceilings, and plastering. We are best know for our ability to perform our work dust free...this is not easy! We have done work for Telecommunication Co.'s and Hospitals for over 20 yrs. We also specialize in smooth wall but will spray texture if asked. I have been with the company for 20 yrs now, it's a living and I actually enjoy it, but sometimes think of making a career change....

When I'm not working for the company or at home with my family, I do a lot of side work to fund my Camaro project...yep and still find time to hang with you guys and gals!! :thumbsup:

[Mick Mc]

My name is Mick McMahan. I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I am an independant Financial Advisor. Stocks, bonds and financial planning, helping people meet their goal of retirement or living thru retirement without going broke is my day to day life. I specialize in 401(k) and IRA rollovers (and start up plans) for car guys. Ninety percent of my clients are car guys or bike guys, the two seem to go hand in hand.

I have owned alot of rides but my 69 Camaro with fold down rear seat, molded door panels and 4 speed with gauge console would have never been sold if I had ever laid eyes on Big Red. Dam that Big Red keeps me awake at night, but that is just the deam side.
On the reality side I am working on a 67 Chevelle, big block and 4 speed, maybe turbos or something blow thru. A black 64 Coupe de Ville is close to being driven, except for a radio. I still own a one-ton Chevy fourwheel drive truck from my days of running a major fourwheel drive shop here in Albuquerque, 454 injected, Dana 60's (both ends) 40 inch boggers.
My daily driver is a 96 Impala SS. I call it a daily driver because it has only a handful of additions, 18 Corvette wheels being the only thing visable.
I have been in to cars since before I could drive. In junior high I was sneaking Hot Rod magazine in to my classes to read. I have been going to SEMA or SCORE for the last twenty years, but the forums seem to give me the most inspiration. The guys here are a wealth of information and ideas. I often snap 400 pictures at SEMA but the projects here make me get back out in the shop and get back to work.
Hey the market just turned positive I have got to go......

Jeff here, originally from Detroit. Grew up street racing there in the 80s. Ok- I didn't grow up, I just got older. Worked at Holbrook, Roush (before his NASCAR days), McClaren doing whatever to learn. Pissed away my scholarship at Michigan, so I joined the Navy. Worked on the Small Boat units for 12 yrs, now I fly P-3C submarine hunter / surveillance aircraft (mostly surveillance these days). Been doing that for 18+yrs now, been all around, done lots-o stuff. Getting ready to retire in 2010/2011. Going back across the pond in Jan, for yet another extended stay. My 68 Firebird might make Power Tour 08/09 if I don't have to do another back-to-back-to-back-to-back deployment. This schitt is getting old!

Been involved in the aftermarket my whole life; my family is employed by a few co's, or supplies them. My little bro has my retirement job- he's a suspension guy for the factory Corvette team (Pratt & Miller).

Now living in Jacksonville, Fl, with a beautiful wife of 15 years, two kids 13/14, and too many damn projects.

My only project is my 64 dodge dart gt convertible. Im updating her with new style hemi and 5 speed. I guess rasing the kids is a project also.

Hi guys! My name is Josh and I'm a Sr. Mechanical Engineer for Apple Computer, Inc. I design portable computers like the iBook, PowerBook, and MacBook. I just got married about a year and half ago to a great woman. I've been excited about hot rods since I was a kid and have been restoring Chevelles and Camaros with my Dad since high school. I have no projects currently, but I'm working on the design / build planning of my ultimate project car, a '65 Chevelle. I look forward to getting more involved in the forums and picking the brains of some of the talented fabricators on this site.

Cheers!

[ZZ3ElCamino]

Josh, that must be an awesome job! Thanks for designing this MacBook Pro I am using, it is an amazing computer. I am a mechanical engineer in Tucson, I work for Raytheon Missile systems, which is also a pretty exciting job. What solid modeling tools do they use at Apple?

My name is Brandon Wiedeman. I have a BSME from Purdue University and I'm currently working as a Project Manager for Ferguson Metals. We supply stainless steel and high temp alloys in sheet or coil form to aerospace industries as well as automotive, appliance, medical etc. We were just recently purchased by O'Neal Steel, which has been good so far. I'm also currently going to Xavier University (In Cincinnati, OH) for an MBA.

I'm 27y/o and live in Dover, IN (about 20 miles West of Cincinnati, OH). I've been happily married for 2 1/2 years to an understanding wife (She just rolls her eyes at me a lot when I talk about cars)

My Dad has managed a Body Shop at a local Ford Dealer for the last 35 yrs. So I pretty much grew up with a sanding block in my hand. I love all things that are related to cars and motorcycles. I currently have an '89 Mustang coupe, '52 Chevy Pickup.

More than anything about they hobby, I love that my Dad and I share such a passionate interest in the same thing. All of the time spent with him working on projects has been great. I can't wait to actually finish a few of them though! LOL

Sorry for getting a little long winded. It's great to learn a little more about people on the site.

Brandon

[BANKO]

ZZ3ElCamino-

Yes, it is a pretty fun job. I've been able to learn a lot about injection molding, die casting, and deep drawing of Aluminum. We do a lot of engineering "under the hood" that very few people get to see. We primarily use Unigraphics to design our products. Since our Industrial Designers work in Alias, UG is one of the best tools to design from their surfaces.

wiedemab-

Go Boilers!

My wife graduated from Purdue with a BSEE and grew up in Cincy. How do you like Xavier, I've heard some good things about the school?

[wiedemab]

So far I like Xavier. With the exception of one of the Professors they have all been great. Business school is a whole lot different than engineering school, but I'm adjusting. I'm in an On-Site Program that meets 2 days a week for 4hrs each time. It's a cohort program so the same 33 of us will have to see each other every Monday and Wednesday for the whole 22 months. I like the fact that we get to know each other though.

Go Boilers! I've got a lot of respect for EE's. ME's had to take 1 EE class with a lab. It sucked! The next semester they taught us the Laplace Transform, which would have made EE201 soooooo much easier. I haven't been back to the campus in about 2 years and from what I hear, I wouldn't recognize it. I'm hoping to make a trip up this year for Grand Prix!

Scott:

I have kids through marriage that are grow. (I took the easy way out) Anyway, I have heard over and over that kids as young as 15 are getting some, shall we say alterations, that would have been considered crazy when I was in school.

Can you verify this one way or the other, and give examples of what procedures, the age, demographic background etc.?

I have poop pooped these claims from people I know with younger kids, because they didn't have the background to really know one way or the other.

Thanks,
