I built my first hot rod when I was 14. Since then I've lost tract. I've had rods, customs, sand buggies, dragsters & lots of show cars. I was a mechanic, machinist, designer, fabricator, race car driver, taught high school & junior college automotive and wood working. Along the way I've owned several businesses but my most favorite job of all was that of Cruise Director onboard the Mississippi Queen paddlewheel boat.

I don't tell you any of this to try & impress you but rather to show I've been blessed to be able to pursue what I considered my dreams, at least at that time. When you buy the build package, you will find a more detailed biography in the book.
puddlejumpercars.com & bobs-toyshop.com are my two websites. My job in life, since I retired from school teaching, is to create & build projects and along the way take pictures & write descriptions & instructions on how YOU can build the same thing in your own shop at home.

I write the instructions as if I were building the "project" for the very first time and knew very little about it. I want them to be concise & to the point. I also have the tendency to write with a bit of humor & sarcasm. That's just my style & has been for years. My point is I think the instructions are
EASY to follow & understand. If not, I'm just a phone call or email away.
