"What I wish I knew before building a Shelby Cobra replica"
I recently reached the go-kart stage with my Roadster and it prompted me to take a moment and think about how this all got started. I wrote it down in a bit of a self-deprecating humorous blog (also because sadly, as someone still a long way from retiring, I gotta frame this journey in a way that adds something to my resume) and thought y'all might get a kick out of it. Also, I do mention a few usernames of people here who were invaluable in their help, but if anybody is uncomfortable let me know and I can edit.
I'm also curious if this resonates with anyone else. Particularly, I'd imagine there are a lot of us who ended up here one way or another due to the pandemic/lockdown.
