New Guy from Oregon

Hello from Oregon. Been visiting the website for awhile, figured I better register.

Got into cars via osmosis from my father who grew up in the '50's and raced a B/gas Willys in the early '60's. Grew up in the '70's when muscle cars were cheap and plentiful. Saw American Graffiti in the theater when I was 11. Bought my first vehicle (1949 Studebaker pickup) when I was 12 with lawn mowing money. Moved to a 1970 440 6pak Road Runner in 1979 when I was 16 and the rest is history. Being raised by a true old school hotrodder, I learned to fix it instead of just buying a new one. Still hear my dad saying "are you a mechanic or a parts changer?"
