My name is Nick. I've been into hot rods and custom cars since I was a kid. For over 10 years, I've been learning the art of metal shaping starting out with a set of about 9 hammers, some dollies, and a 3/4" rubber mat and things have kinda evolved from there.
About 3 years ago I completed a mid-engine vehicle handcrafted from flat sheet metal entirely from scratch (not a rebody or kitcar) and taking 8 years (8000 hours) to complete. As for the powerplant, I used a 'hotrodded' 350 Chevy V8 mounted in a reverse rotation (pulleys facing the back of the car) manner to push as much weight ahead of the rear wheels. It's a bit "out there" for some...but a hell of a lot of fun to drive :twisted: Since then, a second more modern 500+HP version has been started.
I'd like to extend my hand in appreciation to all the members who have the same passion for cool cars and enjoy taking the time to share their knowledge and experiences.
