Hello,
as I mentioned in the title, my name is Ian, I live in West Chester, Pennsylvania in the United States.
I've owned my Chero for a while now (I actually don't remember how long).
I like lists, so here's my life in a few lists:

Professions

• Poor College Student (Just finished my AS in CIS/Network Engineering, going back for BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering/Physics)
• IT (network specialist) (super unemployed)
• Photographer

Hobbies/Interests

• Photography
• Shortwave Radio
• My Chero
• Engineering/Physics
• Welding (I'm proficient in SMAW and TIG... there's just something annoying about MIG though, maybe I just try and go too fast?)

Things I'd like to change about my Chero

• Build a drawer system for photo equipment
• Reinforce the hood and repaint with "non-skid" paint so if I'm using the hood to get a better shot I don't slide off and break something (true story...)
• Roof rack + permanent roof top tent (accessible from the interior like my old '78 Westy)
• Removal of all fabric from the interior and replace with a thick coating of spray on truck bed liner
• Swap seats for all mesh seats
• 4"~6" lift
• Replace the dash with a more efficient design (maybe add a tablet dock in place of the radio/climate controls which could access the ECM, function as a GPS, radio and phone)
• If the engine ever dies I want to swap in a Cummins 4bt or something similar, I've made biodiesel in the past and would love to have an excuse to build a reactor out of an antique glass bowl gravity fill pump!

So, yeah, that's me, if any of you have questions about radio equipment or photography, I know my stuff and have learned a lot the hard way.

I'll try and make sure I post a few pictures of my Chero soon.

Oh and if anyone is interested here's a link to my photography website!

It hasn't been updated in a few weeks since Calculus is basically my life at the moment.
