Hi there,
My name is Kevin,
First off, I want to start with I am new to this forum and new to posting on forums. I have always looked on them for information but this is my first time ever writing to one.
I am a car lover true and through for as long as I can remember. Being fresh out of college and in the automotive engineering field, I feel right at home. I am extremely interested in building an SL-C kit but need some advice/encouragement/advice from any SL-C or other kit car builders. From following though multiple builds, page for page, 2 things have happened;
1) I get even more rev'd up about the project seeing how, at least in my eyes, each and every SL-C is truly one-of-one. Despite how many are out there, every build is owner specific thus making no two alike. I LOVE THAT! This is one of the biggest reasons I have been caught up on the idea of an SL-C project.
2) On to what is holding me back and the "whole enchilada" of why I am making this post. From every post I saw for these cars, owners seem very well versed in making brackets/ odds and ends/ and having the cnc, milling, welding equipment to do so. This is an area where I do not feel I have the tools to excel in. I know you can always go out and pay for anything at all to be fabricated but my pockets do not support that mentality. Anyhow, some of these owners have textbook quality solutions to some of the issues that come up and I question if I could replicate such quality.
Please respond to my concern or with any other tips, insight, reasons to/or not to take the plunge into this exciting project.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to communicating with such a great and influential community.
I am going to take a factory tour hopefully soon here and looking forward to that day very much.
