New guy here from Florida!
Ok, so i tried getting "involved" on the HAMB, but too many users, no one recognizes anyone, and everyone is too busy telling everyone else how "traditional" they are to take a step back and enjoy life.... blah.
My name is John Ward... im 28, and live in Melbourne, FL. My father is/was a member of the L.A. Roadsters Club back in the day, and consequently, i've grown up around hot rods and drag racing.
Somewhere along the line i skewed off path, and got involved in Imports, and have been screwing around with them ever since. I now own a shop called 'Panducky Motorsports' in Melbourne, where we basically do everything to cars... and not just imports.
I'm in the process of building this:
It is a 1930 Murray Model A that has been cut down to a 2-door pickup cab... the time-dating on the cut-down is apparently after WW2 sometime... still not sure, if any historical guys out there can help, that'd be great... but it had something to do with gas and food coupons, and trucks getting more than cars.
But anyway, it will be powered by a modern 4-banger out of a Ford Focus. It will also be turbocharged.
Sure, not traditional, but fun nonetheless
I'm in the process of building the chassis right now, i'm starting over from scratch with it. This thing is tons of fun though.
Also, on top of doing all sorts of welding and fabrication (you can check out my work-gallery at: http://www.panducky.com/Panducky-Motorsports-Galleries_ep_28.html) i am also really into photography, and and doing more event shoots, and individual car photo shoots... one day itd be awesome to get some of it into a magazine or something, but having it as a hobby is a start.
Anyway, glad to be here...
Is anyone else from the Melbourne area? I just moved here a few months ago, and still trying to figure out where everyone meets up at and when. Also, if anyone needs any welding/fabrication done, let me know
haha!
