Welcome to Pop's Garage!

Pop's Garage, not a real place, so don't look for it in the Yellow Pages, lol. Actually, my wife has called me "Poppa" since before we got married, and I thought it would be a good name for a garage if I were to ever open one. So I'm using it here.

On to the purpose of this blog. I love pretty much anything to do with cars. Mostly old muscle cars, classic trucks, mini trucks, diesel trucks, hot rods and some sport compacts. Some times, I either get to working on a project, or have ideas for one and I like to share the info with others. There are also times I am working on a car for someone and I need to complain about the engineers bad ideas, or rave about the good ones. So this is my place to do that.

A little background on me and my automotive experience. I have been driving since 1992, when I turned 16. I have worked in the automotive industry in some way since 1994, off and on, either selling parts, delivering parts, installing parts or making parts. I have been in to building custom cars for just as long. I have built about 10 cars of my own and helped my friends on dozens more in the past. I have been in 5 car clubs since I was 16, and president of 3 of those 5. The club names were Syndicate (Dayton, OH), Furious Stylez (president), Crossroads Customs, 0-60 of Dayton (President), and Positive Perception (President, current club my wife and I have been trying to start since '08).

So that's all about me. Later I'll post about some past, present and future projects. C-ya!

Happy Halloween 09!

Well, Halloween came and went. We had a lot of fun this evening with the kids. This is Carters 3rd time out trick-or-treating and he did great! Around here, and probably most places, we have T-o-T for about 2 hours and Carter did great sticking it out for the entire time, and not because we wanted him to. He was on a mission for CANDY! The neighborhood we were in is a pretty small development, about 5 or 6 streets in about 100 acres or less, but he did it. My wife and I were about spent after the first 45 minutes, and our nephew went back home after about an hour and a half.



All along, Cameron our baby girl who is 4 months old in a week, slept most of the time, but was getting cold towards the end when the sun went down.

Carter went as Phantom of the Opera and Cameron went as a flower. Here are some pictures of them.

Well, the kids are in bed, and the wife and I are spent. So it's off to watch some TV and get some sleep.

Next post, I will probably post my plans for my truck. C-ya!
