New Here,
Just a little bit of a intro for myself and husband
My husband has 20 years as a AirFrame Mech while in the Navy, I have 17 years as ejection-seat tech and Air crew equipment specialist in the Navy.
We are both self-taught with work in both composites and design. I have taken several classes over the years for design programs and also for composites as I have had the time.
We both are Semi-retired now. Due to both medical and personal reasons.
Our two daughters and son also help at times with our projects.
We have no builds that fit into the Pro-Touring / G-machine grouping for say at this point. As none of our cars we have built have been based on a muscle or classic car at this point.
Even though both our 27' Ford is an Indy / Salt flat based design with a Ardun Aluminum OHV flat head, SoCal based front mount supercharger and custom EFI, using original mech FI parts. This is in a custom aluminum body and chassis, a build that took us close to 5 years to complete. ( WILL POST PIC's SOON )
Our 32' is a Steel body coupe, custom chassis with drivetrain and suspension from a C-4 LT1 Corvette. This was wedding present 18 years ago. (The body and frame rails)
At this point we are working on two builds.
A Race Car Replica's (RCR) GT-40 MkII with Ford 5.0L Coyote ( My new toy ) and a RCR SLC LSX powered pure track-toy ( Husbands new toy)
Along with a custom Lotus 7 based design. ( son's and daughter's track toy)
This build is based on C6 based suspension, RHS LS 502 cid powered, T-56 trans.
Built on a custom aluminum chassis with custom roll cage system
Building cars or any project must be fun first. If not it turns into a job.
We build cars for the fun and enjoyment of it, it is a family time things.
So if the fun stops, the build stops.
