Default dashtont - new guy here

My name is Dave Taylor - middle name "Ashton", hence d ashton t = dashtont. Why explain that, I don't know.

So I had a father who was really into cars but was a terrible teacher. Great dad, just not patient. Developed a love of cars, but not working on them.

Now, later in life, I aim to rectify that. My goal is to learn how to shape metal the right way. My son is 8mos old, so I've got a few years to sort myself out and teach HIM the right way.

I love rods, resto-mods, classics, and esp. old euro GTs. This summer my Uncle's 1969 E-type OTS will become mine (after a substantial donation to his retirement account) so that'll be where I start the journey.
