New Guy Here
Hi. My name is Bill Lonchas and am a retired Naval Officer, Retired Aerospace Engineer and Executive, and hopefully can stay retired except for building cars. I just completed a Factory Five Cobra and enjoyed the experience of modifying the build to my requirements. I have 2024 C8 HTC and am wanting to build (Restomod) a 1958 C1 with a modern engine (LS3) for personal use. I look forward to this forum as both a knowledge base and a way to share experiences with fellow car enthusiasts.
