Paul (3 Chiefs)

[3 Chiefs]

Hello everyone. My name is Paul and I live in Erlanger Kentucky. I'm about 10 miles south of Cincinnati Ohio. I have been a member of MM for little over two years where I have met many of the great folks here on this site. I have been to two International Metal Meets in Oblong. I am a diesel engine tech by trade but my passion and hobby is old cars. I have been partial to Pontiacs since I was a kid. My dad had two 1965 Grand Prixs. They were big cars but so fast. My brothers had GTOs and Firebirds. That is why I chose the name 3 Chiefs. I have 3 Pontiacs. I have 2 Grand Prixs and a GTO convertible. The GTO I bought in 1987. It was in terrible shape but I riveted in overlapped patch panels and covered with bondo. I painted it red and I showed it one time. I won two trophies that day. The car looked good, for a few years. In 2001 I built a 30x30 garage. In 2002 I started taking this thing apart. I am slow as I have a regular job and I am a single father. I have raised my daughter by myself since she was 3. She is 16 now and an Honor Roll Student. I could not be more proud of the young lady she has become. Anyway you can see why my car is still apart. I searched the internet for the correct way to repair this rusted body. One day I stumbled on Metalmeet and have made some new friends and I have learned a bunch. I do not do this for a living so my experience is little but I am learning. I feel really good about the repairs that I have made so far. When I get time I will post pictures in the project forum.
Lastly I would like to thank those I have learned from and thank all who take the time to post pictures and explanations of their metal shaping projects.

Kerry, Thanks for inviting me here. I am happy to be here.

Paul
