  1. That is one of the cleanest '48's I've ever seen. Nice job!
  2. I'm Mike Boyle, 32 and currently living in Fruita, CO (no plans on leaving any time soon either). Single, no pets (stupid landlord's rules) and a born again Christian. I have been building as long as I can remember. Started with airplanes, since thats what Dad built (he stopped building when I was in elementry school) and progressed into automobiles as my interest in cars grew. In Jr. High I started having unexplained medical problems and became extreemly depressed and eventually suacidal. It was a subscription to Streetrodder magazine (given to me by my god father) and model cars that kept my mind occupied enough to keep me alive. Fast forward to my senior year in high school and I finally (after 5+ years) convince the Dr's that there is really something wrong with me. One trip to a sleep speciallist and I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy. I've been in a drug indused state of euphoria ever since. My interest in anything automotive led to my career choice and now I spend my days fixing other people's junk.....er, I mean I'm an automobile/light truck mechanic. Knowing that I was likely going to spend the majority of my life working on cars I attended Yavapai College in Prescott, AZ where I recieved my Associates in Automotive Business Management as well as my ASE Master certification. I currently work for a mom & pop repair shop in Grand Junction, CO mainly specializing in under car (brakes, clutches, suspension, etc...) and some heavy line (engines, trannys, etc...). I always dreamed of building street rods as a kid, but that dream faded when I got interested in off-roading/rock crawling. I still love rods and customs as well as anything propelled by an internal cumbustion engine. As for what i build, not much of anything lately. I guess you can say I hit a road block and other than a quick HO scale project I haven't spent any time at the bench since before GSL this year. When I do build its mainly whatever interests me at the time. I love to detail and scratch build, but sometimes I will just throw something together just to break up the monotony. I can't build anything "box stock" and I don't know why. Hopefully I'll get back to building soon and mabey get some of my langushing projects finished.
  3. Nice Comp Cooupe! I really like the color combo.
  4. Awesome work Ken!
  5. I really like the look of the FJ, I only wish they would have made it with a removable top (like the origional FJ's). Hope you enjoy your new ride!
  6. I love thoes wheels!
  7. Nice looking build! I'm not a big NASCAR builder (only have one completed) but I have always enjoyed looking at quality builds like this.
  8. One of the most beautiful 40 Fords I've ever seen!

  17. WOW! I'm not that big of a fan of exotic cars, but this is perfect. I especially like the fact it isn't red!
  18. That's exactly how I have my booth vented in my apartment and it works great.
  19. Nice looking Mustang. My parents traded their '68 GT Convertible for a '73 Pinto, so don't think you were the only one to make that mistake.
  20. Looking sweet.
