Groucho Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) Hi everyone. I'm a 55 year old auto mechanic. I only work on pre 1971 American, special interest cars. Like most, I built models and played with slot cars as a kid. Having no money, I painted the bodies with a brush. They actually came out OK. But, far from what I'd hoped for. So, about 15 or so yrs ago I decided to right the wrong, sort of. I'm a novice at best, but have fun. As you'll see, my taste is pretty diverse while leaning towards 60's drag stuff. Oh, and I have a few 1/1 cars too Edited December 20, 2010 by Groucho

Clay Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 John, just download the picture you want to your photobucket and use the Direct Link code under that picture(should look like this http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i176/cjpunish/DSCF2193.jpg) and go to your settings page and click on the Profile tab and click on the change avatar tab, then you should have 3 boxes you can type in, you can either upload from your computer, has to be a certain size though, you can use a web link (URL), don't even worry about the 3 line. Go back and copy the direct link and past it into the URL box and hit save changes at the bottom.
oldscool Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 A pleasure to meet you and from your pics you seem like a man after my own heart. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Show us some closeup pics of what you have built.

Hoosierfarmboy Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Welcome John. I think you will find most are amateurs of some level. However I believe you're very accomplished. I just build in general not following a particlar theme. Although, right now I seem to be hung in Kustomland. I assume your avatar is one of your 1:1 cars - looks neat. keep up the good work and smile upon us with more pix. Randy K alias Hoosierfarmboy
brett Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Welcome from here to John looks like you're my kinda builder. Great builds too !
