Hello, my name is Kyle. I live in Airville, PA which is in the middle of farm country. i.e. farm fields across the road, dairy farm behind my house.
In search of a more active forum to share my vehicle projects and help others where I can. I'm a body guy / painter by trade. I work in an antique restoration shop and am the sole person in charge of all of the body and paint work. I'm a master PPG technician and am very knowledgeable in the field. Also have prior collision industry experience.
My sig has links to our shop and an album of my work. I'm not soliciting as this forum is not our market. The newest vehicle I've worked on is a 67 Impala SS. The oldest in our shop is a 1909. Just some background info on the quality I strive for.
Some photos of my vehicles
This was my 2002 Ford ZX2 which had a lot of hours into it over 6 years. Was my daily driver that I rebuilt when I purchased (was bought wrecked and green). Good amount of custom subtle mod mods and custom blue paint. It actually was too low for the local roads. These back country roads are rough, and I bottomed out a lot.
I had a few goodies on it, but not a lot.
Then this past Feb, I was traveling a bit too fast for single digit weather. Had a good life. I saved it at 108K miles from death. Then I killed it at 158k miles. Sad to loose all the time I put into it. I spent a solid 7 months tearing apart and building the car for a fun daily.
Now it's a parts car for my 03 ZX2 I picked up a few weeks ago. Only thing not damaged sheet metal wise was the driver's door. The 03 is nicknamed 2.0 as I will go way more radical with the modding on this one.
Then there's my 81 Camaro. I've owned it since I was 16, now 28. It has a mild motor that my father and I built back in 2004. A lot of parts have been installed, mostly from 04-06. With the last stuff being the suspension work I did. Currently sits on coil-overs all the way around. I'll never sell it, but I will continue to beat the snot out of it.
I'll be lurking around for awhile and I'll help out with advise where I can. I have big plans for the 2003 ZX2 I picked up but it wouldn't be til next spring when I could start. I understand it's just an economy car, but I feel I can make it into something unique and stylish. I've been building ideas in my head for years. Time to finally act on them. I plan on doing a metal widebody to the car, wire tuck and shaved engine bay with custom upholstery and paint. Everything I can do myself through skills learned from schooling and on the job experience. So costs I can keep to a minimal which makes doing the extreme, cheap.
