Good Morning.
My name is Roy Allen, my passion is converting money to noise via "Vintage Racing". It's very difficult to find parts for the older vehicles and when you do, everything has to be modified, flared, pushed, and shoved, to fit on the old cars. I have no illusions about being able to develope the skill sets required for the "exterior" sheet metal, but look forward to meeting the people who can. My second goal is to develope the skills necessary to build the "parts not seen" and make them presentable. Currently I have 3 cars that I maintain for Vintage Racing.
