Andy, Im 41 and used to race 10.5 Outlaw stuff with nitrous motors. Ive since sold my race car and am now building an 88 Monte SS in a Pro Touring style with a 383 twin turbo motor. Opps, forgot to mention what I do for a living. I work in a data center and manage all the hardware and data center infrastructure gear such as 3000 HP diesel gens and some other cool stuff.

I've been around here for a bit, mostly just admiring some of the awesome cars being built and planning one of my own.

I'm 25, no PT car but have a pretty clean 01' Viper and a big diesel pickup :thumbsup: Live in Newport Beach, CA. Have a degree in Mech Engineering but really haven't put it to much use :willy: I quit a stable 9-5 about a year ago to start a business with a friend and that has completely drained me, but it's been an awesome learning experience.

note: If you ever think about starting a biz that has anything to do with alcohol production, DON'T! Working with the gov't is a nightmare, and after that you get to play with the sharks (aka billion $$$ empires).

And before we even get product into production it looks like that venture may be bought up by another company. :( Not so much by choice, but what can ya do.

So now we're looking into the next phase. Likely turning towards realestate developement and high end interior fixtures etc. Ever seen a hand layed carbon fiber sink, or counter top :unibrow:

I'm also do free lance design work for a few high performance shops. (Twin turbo systems, custom intercoolers, and the like)

Oh and anyone local hiring? I'm semi-looking for a regular job till I recover from the last stint. :faint:
