Just how old are you?

Just how old are you?

Im 26 with 2.5 years experience as an engineer and 21 years experience building cars with my dad. I was five years old when I started hanging out with him in the garage.

Hahahaha there is a professor at my school that you just described to a T!!! Every day, straight out of the sixties! I'm a senior M.E. major so I can relate haha! They don't understand, our minds have been molded like this. We can't help it hahaha. Keep up the good fab and dirty hands!!

Does he have the 36" slide rule?

Thanks stephen, I will stay dirty my friends!

Wow! Those little Falcons are tight! My Duster has a good bit more space under there. Looks great!

Also congratulations on getting your wife out into the garage! Hopefully it will be all downhill for her from here on out!

thanks benjamin, I think she may like to hangout with me more now! haha.

Yep the falcon is a small car very compact.

John,

I am up in rancho bernardo. I think I have seen your truck a few places around town. When I get my car back on its wheels a cruise would be cool. Otherwise, we should meet up at one of the local car shows.

Probably! Black rim glasses, crew cut and all baby! I'm amazed at how many of the engineering student here (Univ. of Tennessee at Chattanooga) couldn't hand you a wrench if you asked for it. Its just sad. Were hoping to change that!

Just cuz I love these wheels. Here are some more pics. Getting them mounted at driverzinc this saturday.



Just to show the comparison.

The same thing at UCSD. Not too many kids had any pratical knowledge. Are you part of the FSAE team?

Wow, how did you get them to stick to the Wall?


What sizes are the tires?

I know what you mean! Kinda sad actually. That is exactly why I am doing a 2yr Engineering Tech degree then transferring for my four year. It will end up taking about 5.5 years to get my bachelors but I'll know almost everything from the bottom up, And have all the CNC programming/QC skills. So Hopefully it works out well and is worth the extra trouble.

hey bryce say hi to justin tomorrow up at drivers inc talked to him about rushforths for the nova great to talk with

Same here Luke, I am glad I ran into you.

Do I really seem that old and nerdy?

Old, no. Nerdy, yes.

I guess it all depends on one's definition of old, but I think of "old" people as generally being barely proficient with computers. They tend to design things with an old instrument called an eyecrometer, rather than use any precise measurements, let alone any kind of software. So, you definitely don't come across as old. Nerdy, on the other hand...

Anyway, I can't wait to see the Falcon drivable. You'll have to start hitting up some of the local events.

Me too. I woke up at 4am today cuz I was so excited. And I am not even driving up until 1 this afternoon.

Sounds like a good plan. With that experience you should get an interview anywhere.

At my college we had a class where we got use hand mills and lathes, with a few CNC stuff. That was my favorite class.

Thanks Matt, you are a younger guy too right?

I guess I am an enginerd (engineer + nerd)

I cant wait to drive the falcon either. I plan on having the car ready by RTTC. and GG in april for sure. It might not be painted but it will have a finished suspension under it but it will have an automatic.
