Hey guys and gals,
What can I say without boring you? Well, I bought a Camaro nearly 20 years ago and have the US car virus since then...love those muscle cars and traditional 30's hot rods! I was very lucky and met some hot rodders in NY 5 years ago. Since then I am in a low budget race team and we race a 32 roadster at Bonneville on the salt. A Indy inspired prewar racer is on my bucket list for some years. Now I hope that mine is finished somewhen this year. Its gonna be a 32 Chevrolet chassis with a 4 speed and a hopped up straight 6. the hardest part will be the body...not to shape it but to decide the proportions and form!!
I am living in Switzerland on the country side, have a great wife and 2 "boys" who understand this car fever...lucky me!
Look forward to meet interesting people here and get lots of inspiration!
Keep on rodding, Peter
