Default Phoenix Rising

I found this site looking for aftermarket parts for my 89 firebird formula. My username is from an Avenged Sevenfold song. Im such a fan Im thinking of airbrushing the "Deathbat" (my avatar)on my hood. Im in the military stationed at Fort Sill, Ok. I hope to learn more about engines and trannies cause my dad runs a custom shop in Giles County In Tennessee, Im more of an artist everything I know i learned from him and my grandfather (a triple diamond certified GM mechanic). If youre looking for a 30s-60s model car/truck and live in Tennessee just drop me a line Ill get you his number.
Thanks all,
Stone

Sounds like you could bring a fair of info to the site with that kind of background, anyone in the area is lucky to have you make such an offer

Welcome and make sure to check the appearance & detail forum, some good artists show up in there from time to time.

Well the fact is anything that I dont know I can call during you know good hours (not at 1am) and ask. and if my dad doesnt know (unlikely) my grand dad knows about eerything that has wheels. but thank you for your complements. When I said Im an artist I mean I plan on airbrushing myself. I did alot of the pinstriping on my granddads older model cars (34-48)

If its fully restored then I can see why he isn't letting it go

Have him upload them to a photobucket account (free) for you then post that in the appearance section. I would be nice to see new work on older cars.
