Biography
Glenn Korec

I was born in the fall of 1973. I was raised by my mother but lived in the same house as my grandfather. He served in the USAF from 1941-1972, he is the one that got me hooked on any thing mechanical. Growing up he drove a 65 tan C10 pick up. He had it in 1991 when I started to drive.
Currently I live in Jamesville NY, with my wife and two daughters. (ages 6 & 10). I have been married for 17 years, and work for a large university as a project manager. We just finished buildling our garage this month. My wife is a Nurse, and shares my interest in old cars (especially old chevy trucks) she just picked up a 61 Apache 10. She will be joining the forums soon.
