Hi everyone, I'm Taz.
I've been lurking on the these boards for a couple of weeks, sucking up knowledge and ideas. I'm really impressed by this community.
I've been reading a lot of the build logs, and watched all of the FastThings youTube vids (great work, Gene!). I've received all the brochures from FFR and bought the digital GTM build manual online in anticipation of building my own car. Unfortunately, my life just turned a bit sideways and my anticipated January purchase has been put off, possibly for a year or more.
But I still am addicted to thinking about my future GTM, and am going forward with the planning process.
On that subject, I've been messing around in Photoshop. I've read some people wanting to see what the car would look like in different colours. I grabbed a pic I found of CanadianGTM's finished build and started experimenting. I hope thats ok. If not, let me know, bud, and I'll pull the pics. In the interim, I thought I'd show the Gen II in a couple of colours. If any of you want to see a specific colour, let me know and I'll do my best.

One of my ideas was to take the aluminum panels and use them as templates to make carbon fiber panels in their stead. I was thinking that the CF would not only be lighter, but would offer better heat insulation than the aluminum to keep the cabin cooler. Thoughts?
Ok, enough of me.
Looking forward to being part of all of this fun....
