[Rich B]

Hi
My name is Rich and I live in Oakdale, MN.

I have been a hot rodder since I caught the bug in High School and have built and worked on old ever since.

I spent some time in the Navy, went to "A" school in Memphis, worked as aircraft structural mechanic (AMS) in a fighter squadron based out of Miramar, made a couple of WestPac cruises on the Bon Homme Richard in the late '60s and spent some time on the beach det at Cubi Point.

I worked in the truck and municipal equipment business for over 40 years and learned and practiced many skills including welding, fabrication, hydraulics, electrical, along with system design, troubleshooting, and repair.

Recently I found I have a renewed interest in doing a higher grade of sheet metal work than I have in the past and think this may be a good place to learn. Maybe I might even find I have some knowledge that I can share.

Currently, I am working on '47 & '35 Fords of my own, I am helping a friend build '54 Chev and also helping the same friend and his son build a '29 Tudor.
