New, but some of you may know me.

Hi, name is Chad.

Some of you may know me from other forums. I drive a 1991 Saab 900 Turbo, but I am a fan of most any car out there.

I am friends with Carl, think he is carltalon in here and I think that is probably how I know of this site.

I am here because I am interested in what the Mitsu people are doing with their cars, basically the MN Mitsu scene.

I am into automotive photography as well. If you would like to look through my work, please follow this link.

Thanks

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Stay tuned, I will probably schedule shoots from time to time.

And for those of you interested, here is a shot of my hoodride Saab.



The roof rack is made from thule towers and an old pallet.
The black doors replaced old rusty ones. I normally run a black hood as well.

I did the headliner and door cards in a maroon plaid material, and I cut the springs to lower the car about 2.5" or so.

Re: New, but some of you may know me.

I do have one EVO shoot in my flickr page somewhere. I would like to add more DSM to my work.

I don't have much money to go on cruises at this time, but if I can get the day free maybe I'll talk with someone on here about being the camera car.



Thanks for the comliments on the Saab. It's a bit rough around the edges, but the drivetrain has been meticulously maintained. I bought it because it came with 6 years of service history in a folder, and it runs tip top even though it has 255,000 miles on it.

Since it was rough around the edges, I went with that when modding it and went with the hoodride look. I complete did this car up for the Eurowerks show for $100..... lol

Yes, Carl. Now that you got it looking a bit nicer we should set up a day to get some shots.
