Greetings. I have been spending the past few months collecting information, reading, absorbing information for when I place my order. Right now, I'm still a bit away, most likely at this point Spring of 2021, first planning to get my garage back in order (30x40), finish it out (80% done with insulation), finish installing heat, and purchase a 2 post lift.

My background, at least the last 15 years have been on two wheels. Currently have 4 in the garage, Ducati Panigale 1299S, Aprilia RSV4 RF, Yamaha R1, and a Honda Grom. I've been on/off the track since I started riding, riding expert/advanced, teaching classes, and enjoying time on the street as well. Met my wife riding (the Aprilia is hers). We now have a 14 month old daughter, who's as active as can be, running around and is in to everything.

Plan is to let her get to an age that she understand "No", and would allow me to tinker in the garage, yet be finished before we are heavily involved with sports and school activities.

I'm enjoying the group here and am planning to make a day trip to London to meet some of you, as well as see lots of builds.

Of course this is all moot, since I'll be winning the raffle and will just drive that one around... LOL

I've always been a GM guy. My parents have a few Corvettes, along with a few other interesting vehicles, but there has always been an intriguing pull for the 65 Roadster replica that I'm heading that direction over a Corvette, at least for the time being.

This is one of my step-father's cars:

572 cuin big block, 4 link rear, square tube frame, 6 speed g-force trans, coil overs, Willwood brakes, 645 HP, all custom interior. This photo is from the Indy Good Guys circle of champions from 2012 I believe.

I have some big shoes to fill when I start my own build.
