I can fix it, I have an EXCELLENT set of tools

About Me

My name is Kirk. I am married to a wonderful woman named Donelle. We met at Ferris State College back 1980 and we have 2 great kids. My son is living in New York City and is signed to one of the top modeling agencys in the nation and my daughter graduated from Douglas J and is now a professional hairstylist. I was a tool and die maker for 15 years, I now work out of my own shop doing all types of Tool & Die, metal fabricating and custom steel railings. 4 years ago I had run in with throat cancer even though I've never smoked in my life. I had to do all the treatments to take care of that and now...well im still here! I sold my manufacturing business I was involved with and simplified my life by working out of my own shop. I have a bunch of old projects, some are done and some are not but my thinking is you can never have enough old cars and bikes around. I like all type of cars and trucks. I can find something on about every car or truck that I can learn from. I have kind of left the "restored to orginal" fase of my life and have been trying to build from scratch on the last 2 or 3 projects and to me this is way more interesting then ordering replacement parts from a bookI edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other people who find building and fabricating old cars and bikes enjoyable
