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!

Cavalcade of Customs - Cincy . . . . . Chip Foose Will Be There!!!!

At first, I wasn't going to try too hard to go to this years Cavalcade of Customs show in Cincinnati. I figured it wasn't a big deal if we couldn't or didn't go since we would probably see some of the cars at other shows later in the year. But then I happened to read through the info again, and there it was, Chip Foose is going to be there on Saturday!! Needless to say, my wife and I are pretty excited to go. We just hope this snow doesn't keep him from being there.

The bad thing is though, I don't have anything for him to sign, so I printed a wallpaper from Magnaflow's website. Now I wish I would have bought at least one of the die cast cars I saw over the years that was a Foose designs replica.

By the way, if you're going and want to get together with me and my family, we'll be going sometime around 5PM.

So, until the next post, keep the rubber side down, and get to wrenchin'!
