Hey guys. I just wanted to stop by and say hello as I am new to the forum. I have been an automotive hobbyist since I graduated college about 8 years ago and am looking for my next money pit....i mean, hobby. I road raced a 2007 Yamaha R6 for about 3 years throughout the Southeast with CCS (Daytona, VIR, Roebling Road, Carolina Motorsports Park, etc.) and sold my bike when I got engaged to my now wife. I bought a 2013 Jeep Wrangler JKU that I modified heavily for rock crawling / trail riding. I sold this as I was breaking components on the trail and didn't have a way to work when it was down (daily driver). I am now in a 2015 4Runner and am looking at buying a Bay Window project and am here to gather information and share my journey. I performed all work and maintenance on both the R6 and my Jeep with the exception of gearing work on the Jeep, so I think I should be able to tackle a good portion of the work myself. I'm hoping to find a nice project base (hoping for a '71) with a good body for under $5k, but that is seeming difficult (Charlotte NC). The search continues!
Anyways, I just wanted to give a wave (sorry, still holding on to the Jeep wave) and say thanks for having me.

| In your region rust will be an issue. Come west of the continental divide and find one that is rust free. You will be glad you did. |
