Off the Normal Subject...

Besides my obsession with the greatest game ever WoW, working on Darth Cestual's awesome drawings, painting Warhammer Figurines, playing magic with Smoke, sitting around the table playing D&D with my friends, reading fantasy novels, shooting the bs about comic books, and anything else they totally qualifies me as a total and complete nerd. I have another quality....I'm a gear head, I was raised by a mechanic, my two older brothers are mechanics, and hell even my sister can overhaul an engine. Which brings me to the topic of today. When I was 16, I told my father I wanted a hot rod/show car, expecting the usual no, your not getting one, I recieved a yes. He asked what kind of car do you want to get, my immediate answer was a 1957 chevy bel-air, I had always been in love with the shoebox style bel-air...So we went out searching, and searching, and searching.....When at one junkyard, about 2 1/2 hours away from home, he called me over to a car....It was a bel-air, but it was a 59, a model I had never seen before, with its weird flat fins, and large bulbous body....at first I was appauld, but dad talked me into getting. The next two years we spent stripping it.. down to the bone and buidling it back up....Kept the orginal 283 in it, put a 350 turbo tranny behind it, and tweaked to push around 300hp. I've been showing ever since its completion in 1999.
