I'm sure some of the guys here from the original Rodders Round Table will remember me. But for those that don't and those that I haven't had the pleasure of meeting yet.
I'm a Hot Rodder from Melbourne Victoria Australia. Had the sickness for more years than I can remember, even as a kid I was reading Australian Hot Rodding Review and Australian Hot Rod and drawing rods I'd like to build or own. It wasn't until 1984 that I finally got my first project after having spent more dollars than I care to let my better half become aware of on tricked up Holden panel vans and Datsun rally cars.
It was a 1934 Chev Master sedan and I bought it as an unfinished project thnking that this would allow me to get on the road quicker. How wrong can a guy be. Took 4 years to get it on the road, but I've done a hell of a lot of miles since then and had a blast doing it.
In 1995 I could see that this thing called the internet had the chance of becoming something big, so I offered to set up a web site for the Australian Street Rod Federation. I could see this as a great way of getting information out to the rodders. The rest as they say is history, since then I have gone on the build many more hot rod oriented sites for Australian clubs and businesses. And have built what I believe to be the premier hot rod portal for Australian hot rods.
So I look forward to the new forum and seeing what some of you guys have to say.
Yours in Rodding

Howdy Folks,
I'm new here, well, sorta. I was a member about 4 years ago, after being invited by Carl Brunson, but was new to computers and found it dificult to find the time to learn how to navigate the site. I'm now busier than ever, but I have a little better understanding of this type of forum, so I'll give it another shot. I'm currently building a '37 Olds. I hate to call it a street rod, because it's really closer to a kustom, but hey, call it what you wish. I'll try getting a good picture posted soon. I haven't taken any recent shots. The crazy thing is undergoing a near complete re-body, ao there's a lot of work to be done. For about 3 years now I've been going around to car shows throughout the midwest doing metalshaping demonstrations, so perhaps i've met several of you already. If not, I look forward to meeting you soon. Attached is a picture of me taking a break during MetalMeet '03.
Bangin' metal will wear you out!!! :lol:
