Title: Hi from the St. louis area...
Post by: DABIRDGUY on April 19, 2010, 01:18:23 PM

Greetings all,
I am a tool junky and a hot rodder.  I have been a tinkerer and a builder for lots of years (ttttoooooo many...LOL).
I have an old Atlas lathe and an affinity for older tools:http://glennsplace.com/tools.htm (http://glennsplace.com/tools.htm)
My current projects include putting a '50 GMC pickup on an S-10 chassis (http://glennsplace.com/fifty_chevy.htm (http://glennsplace.com/fifty_chevy.htm)) and converting a '55 Mercury 4 door wagon into a 2-door sedan delivery: http://glennsplace.com/55_merc.htm (http://glennsplace.com/55_merc.htm).
I am also an N-scale model railroader.

Later!

Hi Glenn  :wave: 


Welcome to the collective :borg:

I like your site, you certainly are a sufferer of  :proj:   :lol:



So when's the final pic's of the "Rat Rod"?? 


I like the humour section.... Well most of it anyway, not too sure about the hotdog???  :bugeye:    :lol:




Don't be afraid to post bits about the cars etc, it's certainly modding, and I'll read them  :thumbup:






Ralph.






Oh.... your favourite web pages list is out of date   :mmr:   :headbang:

Definitely post the rods up for us to see! My wife has been after me to get an old Merc and do a chop and channel. She is dying for a 'gangster car'.

Welcome to the collective :borg:

Eric

PS... love the rat rod!

Welcome to the collective Glenn.  :borg:

I'm into HO, O and live steam. Like cars too, but got to many things going now so I just admire the cars.  :headbang:

Took a quick look at your site, nice. I'll have to go back when I have more time.

Welcome to MadModder Glen. I can see by the link that you posted that you keep yourself quite busy in the shop. I like that 50 GMC project. That will be nice when finished.

Cheers  :beer:
