Texas Newbie

Howdy all, I am obviously new to the board here. My boyfriend has been on here a while now, I think his name here is Will69Camaro. I don't have a pro-touring car, but I do have a good amount of work in Will's project. And, like many here, I come seeking knowledge!

About me:
I am 21 and am attending Texas A&M studying Mechanical Engineering. I'm a first-year senior, I did some college-hopping before settling at A&M and I now have two years to go. I love cars, always have; I get it from my dad, who had some hot rods in his youth. Right now I'm serving an internship at Peterbilt Motors Co. in Denton, TX. Last summer I worked at a local machine shop, basically as a parts cleaner and floor sweeper, but I did get to put a few engines together, and take more than a few apart. I'd like to end up somewhere in the automotive field, and someday (hopefully soon) I can have a hot rod of my own, but for now I just build little ones, I find them very affordable! Which leads me to the reason I joined. I am building a 1:24 scale model '69 Camaro Convertible (which may be followed up with a more detailed coupe) that I hoped to have some good pro-touring influence in, and where's a better place to see it than here?

Thanks for the warm welcome! Good to see a lot of fellow Aggies here. Here are some of my recent modelling builds. Since I have them currently hosted on automotiveforums.com, I can only post the links:

Shelby GT-350H
Viper GTS
'96 Trans Am
'70 GSX
'99 Lightning and Cobra
True Street '90 GT <built for Tony Strong>

I posted up some pictures of the progress on the '69 Convertible in the paint & body forum, I'm trying to figure out a paint scheme for it before I move on to primer etc. I'm really going for the "pro-touring" look with this build.
