Hi everyone.
My name is Chad and I am a photographer and car nut from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I have owned a little bit of everything, cars, trucks, American, foreign.... I am a fan of all cars. If it's cool, odd, unique, rare, whatever, I like it.
My current car is a 1991 Saab 900 Turbo. It has hundreds of thousands of miles on it and it keeps on going. It is falling apart around me though..... lol
Here is a photo of it.
I lowered it 3" (well, I raised it back up because I was tired of dragging on the ground) the doors are black because the original ones were so rusty. The hood is black now as well for the same reason. I know you guys like rust, but these panels were rusted through, now they are just surface rusty... lol
The spark plug wire cover is a handicapped parking sign, and the roof rack is made from Tule supports and an old pallet. I found an original set of rear window louvers for that classic 80's touch... lol
Anyways, it's crappy but dependable.
Now for why I am here.....
I am here like I said above, because I love all cars. I am on a rat rod kick right now because they are inexpensive to build and there is so much creativity involved in creating them.
I have not started building one yet, but I plan too. Probably a truck from the mid-30's. I like the rounded cabs of those trucks.
I am also a photographer and I am on staff with a new magazine called "Rat Rod Magazine." As you can gather by the title this magazine is all about the cars you love.... rat rods.
We just got this project rolling so I have been on local boards (Frankensteiners web site) gathering info and lining up cars to shoot for the first issue. I am on here to look through your builds and tech articles and really immerse myself in the world of rat rods. I want to network, make friends, and hope that we can earn extra readers and support for our project.
So, hello to everyone. I will see you around, i hope.
