More information: I am originally from Atlanta Georgia but I have been living in California most of my life.

I am married, my wife's name is Kate and we have a son who was born on New Years Day. (Monty II)

My hobbies are Body building, bowling (highest game 289) R.C. Helicopters and collecting Exotic die cast cars. I also have a love of motorcycles I built a custom Kawasaki ZX10 in 1997.

I have always had a love for Exotic Cars, growing up as a teen I could only dream of owning one. In 1998 I was able to attend the Knott's Berry Kit Car Show and there I got my first look at a Lamborghini Countach sitting on a custom tube chassis. I could not believe that a kit could like soon good.

The following years after attending that show I started gathering all of the information that I could about kit cars. Then one day I picked up and issue of Kit Car Magazine that had a car that Kirban Customs had built " Devil in a Blue Dress" and I was HOOKED.

I would like to give a special thanks to Duncan for his web site: http://www.kitcentral.com/ for allowing builders to get together and share information and photos.

I really want to thank Ron for taking a good concept and making it even better, I wish that all of this information were available when I was trying to decide which kit to buy and what would be involved in building a kit
