Hi all,
My name is Tom. Just to introduce myself a bit. I was an automotive machinist for 28 years. Throughout those years I got to see and restore a lot of old and unusual engines at the owners expense. Now that's fun! I love anything that's old and goes. I have a 1949 Chevy 3/4 ton truck that has been my daily driver for 25 years. Also have a 1951(for a back up). I feel best when I am surrounded with old iron and my house shows that. To name a few. My 1948 Simplex. 1966 Sears Sabre motor scooter. Late '60s Margay go kart. 1951 J.C. Higgins Colorflow bicycle. Wife rides a 1949 Schwinn Starlet. Several single cylinder vintage gas engines. And countless collections of oddities and fine pieces of junk! Later I will tell you about my Simplex and the story behind it. Big thanks to RickS for calling me in!
