My name is Tom, at least that is what I prefer to be called, LOL I like to build funny cars, race cars, muscle cars, and the like. I am also thinking to dabble into an airplane or 3, (just the ones I worked on while in the US Air Force back in the 80's).
I have loved building models since I was a kid, but like many, it went to the way side as family demands increased. But now, enter the 50's, kids are grown and on their own, popping out grandkids like weeds in a tomato garden! So the building has come back, and in full force. Learning more and more as I go, hopefully to one day become a good custom builder. Right now, I pretty much stick to box stock as a rule, maybe swap out rime and tires, wiring the engines, etc. Just some small stuff.
We love taking our Camaro to car shows, and we are also avid volunteers for many people, reasons and causes.\
I am a scorpio, and like talking long walks on the beach and watching the sunset - ER - that should not be here - HAHAHA!
Life is good - but when you finish a build, life is great!

Hi Tom and Thank you for serving our great country! I was a "462" amarment systems specilist in the Air Force from 82 through 88. Where were you stationed?

Hey Alan!!! So glad you made it over here bud!!! Where was I stationed? Partyville!!! LOL Kadena AFB - Okinawa. I mostly worked on the KC-135 tankers, but I was also the only top secret clearance guy in the hydraulic / pneudraulic shop - so I was often over in the HABU hanger, (SR71), and on the alert pad to launch that black bird. What a jet that sucker is man, was so cool
I wish I would have stayed in, but, it was the 80's ya know - LOL

Thank you both for your service. That'll make three aviation buffs here. I was a UH-1H Huey Helicopter Crewchief from 1988-1995. Hands down the best job I ever had.
Glad to see both of you here, Joe
