BMR. . .because I enjoy the fab work and I enjoy the design process even more.

I'm a Tool & Die Maker by trade, have my own lathes/mills/MIG/TIG/etc., and I participated in the SAE Baja Challenge designing and building single seat off-road racing buggies (designed everything in house except the engine) for three years while I was going to school. . .

. . .it's fun, I enjoy the work, and the sense of satisfaction of making something with my own hands. Plus, coming from the desert/rock crawler side of things the aesthetic you find in those vehicles generally isn't found on street cars. . .at least not very often.

Probably be a bit of a wait considering my "To Do" list and with running a farm, a hard apple cider production, and working full time as a Tool & Die Maker. . .

. . .just so you know, but I will be posting progress pic's on my project thread: Project Tomahawk. . .

https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=7693

There have been a LOT of changes since I started that thread many, many years ago. . .thankfully they are all probably for the better as I have matured, learned from other projects between now and then, and have developed and improved new skill sets.
