Default Hello from NY.

Hello from NY. I'll start with a little bit about myself.

I work in a machine shop, run a CNC lathe making conectors for the aerospace industry. I've always liked working on cars. In school I went to boces and took 2 yrs. of auto mechanics + one year of auto body. After graduation I worked at a dealer ship. Started out reconditioning used cars, then moved to the body shop, then mechanic. Was only there a year, went to work the machine shop, been there 36yrs.

Projects I have are a '55 chevy Belair 4dr sedan and a '82 Mustang GT. The chevy needs a total restoration. So I think I'll be needing some metal shaping.

That's all for now.
