    Considering building a roadster in SF Bay Area, would love to come see yours & talk

    Hi everyone,
    I live in the south bay (Los Gatos) and I'm considering building a roadster. I'd love to talk to some people that have built them as well as check out their cars.

    There are a couple of things that I'm concerned about where I think seeing things & talking in person could help me:
    * Our garage is on the small side, interested in seeing people's garage set ups and getting an idea of how much space it will take
    * I'm 6'3" / 205lbs, if there are any tall people I'd be interested in talking about seats and any modifications you made (bigger footwell?)
    * Just generally interested in seeing a roadster in person and trying to get a sense of whether I want to commit to this


    A little about me: I'm 41 and have 3 young kids (2, 5, and 8). I've lived in the bay area all my life. I owned a '66 Mustang a long time ago and did some minor work on it, but have never done anything this ambitious.

    Hoping I can meet up with someone and check out your car / talk about the build. Happy to bring by the beverage of your choice

    Cheers!
    David

    There's quite a few near you. We meet every Sat. morning 8a.m. at the LG Diner. Some of us have MKI's, so we've been around the block a few times.
    I'm just a victim of a thousand physic wars!

    Sacramento area has a great group too. Probably about 25 guys or so and many are willing to give advice, help out, and go for a cruise. I also had a small garage but made it work. I think any of us would take you up on that meet and greet to talk about these cars.
