I've been on this list for a couple years or so but never got around to introducing myself. I've been on the autox list since the early/mid 90's when I got my first roadster.
I have 2 67.5 1600's that have been off the road for about 16 years. They are now in the process of becoming one roadster which I hope to get back on the road this year. I was originally shooting for September but that ain't gonna happen.
My main area of expertise is electrical but can work on most anything except body & paint. I've been involved with electronics & electrical - including vehicles - since the 60's. Know my way around quite a bit.
I consider myself enough of a mechanic to get things done, but I am in no way a professional.
I am retired from the University of Texas where I was an electronics tech doing engineering work for 30 years.
I live in central Texas, about 30 minutes South of Austin near Lockhart, the BBQ Capital of Texas. I have a shop if anyone is on the road & needs some place to work on their vehicle. Car Hauler flatbed trailer also.
Once this Covid stuff is better I'll be available for a get together for beer or food. Preferably in that order.
I grew up in Los Angeles County until I left for the Air Force in 1965. They dropped me in Austin Tx. in 1972.
I hope to get to meet up with folks when I start traveling with my roadster as I see more of the U.S. Driving Rt. 66 is on my bucket list as is Rt. Driving up the west coast is also on my list.
