Dave G:
Hello everyone, new member here. I am a 52 year old Tool&Die maker who has taken an early retirement from having a real job. I started my apprenticeship at 19 at a major Bearing manufacturer and spent 30 years in the trade there. Now I build model IC engines and do a little drag racing in my spare time. I started the model engine hobby by building a Bob Shore's Silver Bullet in 2000 and have built a few hit-miss type engines from castings. I now like to design and build my own engines and I am the originator of the Rattler that Metalmad is now building and posting here. I have another idea for an engine that I want to build and after I get a few loose ends tied up at home here I will post the build here. I normally don't get much time in the shop during the summer but sometimes I just can't help myself and have to make something. Well I hope this is enough to get started with and I am looking forward to participating. Dave

For some reason, I think that fits a lot of us here!

What do you drag race? For some reason I think you are a Dodge/Chrysler guy  :med:

Thanks for the welcome guys.
 Hi Tim, yes, pics will be coming.
 Hi Eric, One of my weaknesses is old Mopars, especially ones that like to go fast. I used to be into racing alot more than I am now but being that I live less than 25 miles from a premier drag racing facility I do still like to make a few races. I'm finishing a 65 Dart now and should be to the track in a couple of weeks. I'm just a simple old bracket racer and can only wish I could afford to go fast once again. I did win once last year and nothing feels better than winning.
 Hi Dave, SSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, loose lips sink ships,  :hammer: :lol:  :lol: :lol: ,Dave
