Mark,
I did start a project, but not one nearly as ambitious as your project is, I am not that talented
I am having a roller built and I will do the motor & trans and some of the final assembly, you can see my build thread for more detail.
ERA 2136 Build Log
For breakfast, the BACC guys meet at the Rock House in Livermore every Saturday.
The South Bay contingent meets one or two times a month ... At Alice's when the weather is good or usually at Baji's in Mountain View when the weather is questionable. That will be changing however, as we are looking for new places to try ...
Alternate South Bay Locations
So, keep your eyes peeled for South Bay breakfast posts or send me a PM when you have a free weekend coming up and I'll let you know if there is something in the works.
Post some pictures of your car when you have a chance, would be great to see.
