I'm new here

Hi, I'm new here. I was invited by A Grant-53, Where is he ? I'm not used to this forums search feature...



I also recently found Tad Wineicki on Facebook, he published the Alternative Vehicles Forum Newsletter back in the 1990's . You might have seen my work there. Don't know if he posts here, but it's possible...

Please Note : I started out building in Composites , and still do work with epoxy fiberglass to a limited extent, BUT I have been forced to make some recent Fairings out of Coroplast™ due to budgetary constraints ... I would rather remain active and do something than do nothing at all, waiting for money to appear... This is why Model 317 is designated as belonging to "Brand X" , and not that "Nuclear Fueled Aerospace Vehicles" firm , a.k.a. "NFA Vehicles" .

I wore the green shirt, yes. I was going to post a few photos, but I have to post at least 5 posts before I can post photos.

Having had experience with composites before I enlisted, I can say it helped a lot, and I was working with most all of the squadrons on their fiberglass repairs.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
