Hello all I am a new member and wanted to start off by saying aloha.
ive been in hawaii most of my life and have always had a passion for automotive and engineering.
I started off with air cooled Vw’s and 70’s Toyota’s in my early years and got bitten by the muscle car era of torque and axle snapping power. Although gm and Ford were quite popular in the area, there were quite a few mopar muscle cars lurking around.
I started off as the helper then technician, then body shop helper and labor. Lots of rusty cars and not much cash led me to acquiring the cheapest cars to be found. Busted knuckles and struggling to graft cars back together with what was available locally had its challenges and was the driver and motivation to understand more of the car craft.
The journey has led me to re invest in my education at Wyotech in the early 2000’s where I met the most amazing group of people, teachers and staff, as well as some of the most promising young minds and builders of the years to come.
i was finally surrounded by like minded people! Felt like home
Back in the islands again I began putting my new skills to work, mostly sheet metal and rust work, and a new found passion for painting. I enjoy restoration based builds as well as custom sheet metal work of chops, sections and channeling ,Ahhh I still have so much to learn lol. My life’s journey

We don't mind "in process" pictures. Glad you're saving another 70 Charger and have the skills to do so!
