New kid from NorCal
Hello all! I am a senior at McKinleyville High in McKinleyville, CA. I am a third year metal student, third year adv. auto student, and second year auto body student. I'm still learning, and always try to improve my skills with every project. I plan on going to UTI Sacramento in the fall to take the auto body and fabrication courses.
I have a few projects I am working on right now. I have a '53 Packard Clipper that I plan on doing mild kustom work to after i get it back on the road. I'm also kustomizing my girlfriends '68 Pontiac Catalina. I'm making a new front grill and fender section for it that will kinda be radical late '60s Barris style with exaggerated peaks on the fenders. It will also get reshaped rear quarters with short fins (kinda '64 Olds-ish) and Marlin tail lights grafted in. I also have a Model A sedan project, but its a long ways off yet. So far it's just a bush-find body and a few parts. Anyways, glad to have found such a kool place of knowledge!!! I plan on learning a lot here.
