I am a semi-retired mechanical engineer. I have worked in the development departments of Harley Davidson, Mercury Marine, QA1 and contracted to other OEMs. I raced Ford, Shelby, Tiger, Mitsubishi, and GT40 sports cars in SCCA Nationals, Trans Am and vintage. I developed and raced Buell motorcycle in AMA and FUSA. I have built metric and domestic resto-rods. I recently bought an incomplete 818S for a project already underway.
