Hello everyone. I am Buck Zimmerman, Zbuckster on line, I have been involved with on line modeling since 2002. I was an administrator at the debunk Sharks Realm web site since 2003. I started building models when I was 10 years old. I built models and read every Hot Rod magazine I could get my hands on. That was my foundation for working on cars (they all had points and condensers back then). I went into the auto repair business in 1969 and retired from it in 2009. The last 22 years of that I owned my own Transmission repair shop. Started Drag Racing in 1964 and still make a pass or two every year. So with all that said I now spend my time building models, baby sitting grand kids and managing my own forum here at Proboards.
I got away from the hobby for a long time and did return in 2002. Before I used models to learn about real cars. Now I use my time in the auto repair business and involvement with the local auto culture to build models. I like to do as much as I can to make it real, not only in detail but the mechanical aspect as well.
I see a lot of names here I recognize and some I don't. I hope we all get to be friends. Just a group of like minded people sharing their hobby.
