I was part of the original team of Beta builders for Factory Five. The Hot Rod that I built is #003 and is considered "Pre-Production". I was chosen by FFR to be a part of the program due to my past building experience. Apart from numerous restorations of production cars I became involved with the FFR community and built my first FFR Roadster in '00.
Here are some links that will take you to a couple of my cars that were featured in the now defunct KitCar magazine. In addition, there is a link to a feature article from HotRod magazine that has some pictures of one of my cars. The article is about Bruce Meyers and the Manx dune buggy. I built a Manxter (Subaru EFI/turbo) that Bruce Meyers liked so much that HE bought it.
Currently I am building an FFR Mark IV Roadster

I do not build cars with the intent of selling them. I build them for me. And every car that I build must be better than the previous.
