Hi ... my name is Ken. I've always been a sports car fan. Started with a TR3 back in 1964. Bought an E-type when I graduated college and got my first job. Sometime around the early 80's a friend of mine got a genuine 289 Cobra basket case and restored it. He gave me a ride and I loved it!
Back then there wasn't much in the way of kits so I drifted on with production cars ... another E-type, 3 Ferrari's, A Z06 Corvette and a 997 Porsche.
But now I'm retired and have the time, skill (retired automotive engineer) and tools to build a car. I'm just starting the research now. Absolute authenticity isn't important. I do want IRS though. I'm a bit on the fence about a kit that's based on production suspension pieces (FFR or BDR) vs one that is true purpose-built independent suspension, but might not be well designed.
I live in Eureka, CA (not exactly mecca for access to car building resources). Any forum members from this area of northern CA or Oregon?
Looking forward to soaking up the knowledge and experience on these forums.
