Sounds good. I'm not going to be in Iowa immediately in 2 months, since I'm going to TN first. But I'll make a point of looking you up. I'd love to see one still being worked on.

You are Iowa? Where at? I'm Newton.

I have two months until I get home, sell my house in Iowa and move to Tennessee, so no. But the answers were mostly relevant and good. I know a lot more than I did before. If I were to buy one today, I'd most probably go with a manual SC model. For one, they are much, much more available than...

I seem to recall the base model runs 4.75 and the SS/TC runs 3-something. It's published somewhere on the website.

Just read jpr's thread. Cool build, but not much on performance. I did note how he debated about manual v automatic. Like jpr, I'm interested in basically a disposable car, to learn on. I doubt I'll spend much money on finishing, or upgrades. Would definitely like to autocross it, though.

Just saw the Goblin on Goonzquad, and found this forum as a result. I'm an aircraft mechanic, and I'm not far from retirement, and I've been planning to build and race vintage cars as a hobby. My last race experience was go karts in high school, so when I saw the Goblin, I realized there...
