About Me: Well it all started with a kit car magazine that I saw in a gas station. It had an article on a 308 build. So I imediately began looking for a fiero donor and started researching manufacturers.

Then IFG had an article on their countach and now I am in trouble so I take the trip to see their kit, not bad but......

Anyway, I am a little put off but the idea of hacking up the fiero to make it work with the 'glass so I start looking for a chassis builder. At about this time the Diablo kits are really starting to get really good, I had the chassis builder design a true road race chassis and here I am in the thick of this build.

Now all I have to do is quit comming up with wierd drivetrain combinations and finish MY car.

Now for me, I am a contract Engineer that has been running all over the country for the past 10 years, trying to solve te worlds problems in as short a time as possible. I have a wife (to be) 4 boys and 2 girls, and I NEED to get my car done quickly because they have all told me that they want to build their own first cars, with one of my sons wanting to design his own.

Aside form that I want to build and sell these cars as a business, but first I need to get rid of my day job :} With this eventually leading up to my own designed car, this should be fun espeially since I have a lot of "rocket scientist" friends that should be able to help be come up with a few interesting ideas.
