Mentally Unstable Person Seeks Perfect Car

[g3arHead]

Hi Guys.

Building a 7 has been a life-long goal and I think the time is at hand. I am in the SF Bay Area. Are there activities / clubs up this way?

I am getting my 1959 Fiat/Abarth ready for this years California Melee which is great fun. I've also raced 125GP road race motorcycles so I'm fully qualified for small, fast, loud, uncomfortable vehicles. I wouldn't have it any other way!

While I know I will end up spending quite a bit more building a new car, I do have a desire to build one. Any thoughts or advice here?

I'm interested in a car for real world, maximum fun back road blasts. I don't need insane horsepower and I don't want any of that weather protection stuff. Before the new naming I was looking at the Superlight R300 I guess that's a 480 now?

Any advice or pointers greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Paul

You WILL change your mind so be sure to pick an engine with some upgrades readily available.
