I will be one day, but am not ready just yet. I've been hanging out alot on that forum though and have started the initial planning stage... What town do you live in? I'd love to see yours when you get it!!

I suspect I'll be closer to $50K, but near-Ultima (maybe better) numbers for that price is hard to beat!
I hope you'll have a designated driver for Eckler's Chris, cuz you'll have about 50 people buying you beers!!
See you on Saturday,

The GTM is a mid-engine kit put out by Factory Five,,, it's uses a C5 for donor parts, suspension, gas tanks, motor, etc. It should come in at about 2300 Lbs,,,,, so I'm hoping it will really go....

I'm looking for some low end cost parts on the rims and tires at this point as I suspect I'll upgrade when the car is complete.
