38 years old. I've been messing with and working on cars for a living since I was 14. Had a chance as a teen to build a '66 nova with my dad, but I was too pre-occupied with chasin tail and whatnot and lost that opportunity. I finally have a home with a garage that is bigger than my dad's garage the opportunity is not going to pass me by again! I have always been a chevy II freak(got my first one at 13), but the story of tri-fives in my life goes beyond the womb. Dad and his buddy were painting a 55 nomad when my mom's water broke with me on the way in 1970. They stopped working on it to take mom to the hospital, and the car sits today just like it did back then with just primer on the tailgate. Man, I want that car.

Been turning wrenches since i was 12, always wanted a 55.. still yet to own one. As a young kid i was obsessed with american graffiti and hollywood nights, must have worn out 3 videos of each lol.

27 yrs. old... Dad bought me a 57 4 dr. h/t basket case to fool around with when I was 11. It was too far gone to do anything with, I currently own a 57 4 dr post.

I'm 33 and glad to see that some of the younger guys are into this hobby...that means I'll still be able to buy parts for when I'm doing this in retirement!

Then had a 55 2 door post, 56 2 door hard top,57 2 door hard top,and now a 55 sadan delivery. I built a 1940 Ford Delux Coupe street rod. I drove it for 12 yrs and traded it for the 55.
