OK, now we're talkin' Robert! Good grief you use a lot of foam! I see an almost finished Diablo (or so it looks) in the background of one of the shots. It looks pretty clean - is that one of your bodies?
In any case, from what I can see at this point you are definately one hard working individual. I never meant to bust on your abilities, just how your business presents itself. There is a bunch of potential in your kits. Just pay close attention to detail; not necessarily on the car bodies themselves, but how they are finished out (panel gaps, attachment to donor, etc.) Once you get to a finished stage with the body(s), field strip the backyard, clean your shop thoroughly, and hold an open house to see what kind of response you get.
Good luck!Rick

Hey Robert, Im lookn to get into kitcar building, is there any pointers you can give a rookie (Links, books, advice, etc.)? Right now Im trying to grasp the wooden frame, fiberglass, and foam plug, but I have a few question about that. Id hate to have to clutter up this topic with my remedial questions, so is it okay for me to email you?

robert,
i pulled a robert and got working on other projects. i started pulling apart the 302 to make my 331 stroker. i did however move all the crap so i can pull out the depending if i go on the rad today should have you pics friday. just my opinion,but wouldnt one finished project pay for 4 others to get done. finish the mc14 sell a few bodies and hire help to finish the rest.
