Hello all, my name is Eric. I have been modifing/maintaining automotive and other various forms of equipment before I can remember. For the past 6 years, I was working as a "repair tech" ( I don't say Mechanic, as I am unliscenced) in various shops. I was recently laid off when our economy hit the bricks, (Canada was faced with a maple syrup and hockey stick shortage, that's why our economy went tit's up) so I am going back to school to get my Grade 12. After this I will be apprenticing for heavy truck and coach Mechanic. As the years tick by, and the gray hairs on my head increase their numbers, I find myself to be unamused with just modifying existing platforms. I don't believe I will be quite happy until I build something from scratch. I've been looking into kit cars for a while, and the GT40 seems to be the victor of my heart.....you know, aside from my spouse, of course :shy: Over the next year, I hope to amass some parts and metal to begin my build. I apologize for the lengthy introduction thread.
