Hey guys, my name is Paul and I am a native Houstonian. I have been building cars for about 29 years, most of that time as a hobby. I spent about 12 years in the machine shop, body shop and Street Rod industries. I bracket raced for a few years with a '69 Chevelle SS, A '67 Camaro, one 55 Chevy and many Chevy trucks. I ventured into the world of air cooled VWs for about 10 years and enjoyed their simplicity but eventually got the desire to do something different. Being a father of three, money for projects is scarce so I built what I had. I had a '54 VW body so I stepped way outside the norm and built a rectangular tube chassis using an Audi A4 5 speed transaxle and a twin cam 4 banger. The engine sits midship with S-10 4x4 front spindles for the rear uprights and will have a narrowed MII style front suspension. The plan is to run 17" and 18" wheels front and back respectively. It's not a muscle car or domestic but it's what I have and I hope the attitude is right. Anyone wanting to donate an LS1 for the project is welcome!
