Introduction

So for my first post I will give you the low down on why I started this blog and plans for it.  Here it goes:

Tara told me to... and it seemed like a good idea.  For those of you that don't know me, my name is Val, I live in a small town in North Dakota.  I am married to a wonderful woman, Tara.  We have a 1 year old boy Vaughn.  I refer to my two dogs as "the girls" but they do have names as well, Lola and Kyra.

"Hola"

Kyra "The Schweeze"

Lola "Earl or Burp-a-Durp"
I plan to use this blog to record my all consuming infatuation of all things old, fast and loud, hot rods.  I will also mix in my life in the booming oil industry in western North Dakota.  I am new to the patch and I find it very interesting and exciting.  Working for Power Fuels is a great fit for me as I don't have to risk my life everyday to make a buck and I am higher on the food chain so I finally get the respect I feel I deserve.

The first car I built, a 1931 Chevrolet

 I am very visual so I will probably post a lot of pictures and plus it keeps people interested.

The future family car, 1957 Ford Custom
I am going to go back in time a bit to start with so I can post past projects.  I will try to update every couple of days to keep the blog current.  If a post looks like its not finished, it's because it probably isn't, so check back to see the outcome if it is something you are interested in.
