That's one of the most intriguing parts of car building for me is the path a person takes to build their project. I truly love looking at the finished product and the levels of craftsmanship that is in this industry today - but I also greatly enjoy the back story of the design, selection, and building part of the deal too. How someone decided what to build, how to build it, what parts they chose, what engineering fore thought went into their decision and why, and I really like hearing about the struggles we all go through balancing costs, time, family, work, compromise, little garage - to big shop, tools, technique, friends help - to me (and maybe I'm just strange ??) that as much of the story as the awesome car at the show. Any one of the above items in the list will stop you dead in your tracks (especially the money part...) When you get to see the progress pics available via technologies (like this valuable site and others) and read all the back story details - you simply have to have a huge respect for those folks like John who can make it though all the perils and challenges - and STILL deliver an unbelievable car. Thanks John for the build ride - - and the car !! Thank your committee too - they done good.
