I've built a few muscle cars, starting at age 17, I built a Pro-Street Camaro with a Chevy 427, bored to 468cu, Muncie Rock Crusher and narrowed FORD 9". Sold it to help buy our house. Raced dirt wing sprint cars too. But, the best car I built was the Ford 427 Shelby Cobra back in 2000. I bought a original 428 FE engine from Carroll Shelby's shop in Vegas. It was used to fill in a engine when they ran out of the 427 side oilers for a couple months. All street versions came with the 428 FE. My fiberglass body Cobra is at 4,200 lbs. 600 HP. Ran 10.8 sec @ 134 mph.

I used to build 1/4 scale winged dirt sprint cars. Our big car was 360cu. 750 HP, 1250 lbs. This one I built to match it, fairly close anyway. It ran about 70 mph. We race at tracks built for the 1/4 scale cars. Sorry for the,...Enthusiasm for showing off my toys,....

I'll tell you buddy, that what you have done with this hobby, is stunning. And your equipment is amazing. I've saved every photo of yours. I'll never be able to reach your system & knowledge, so most of us just have to aspire to, on what beautiful you have accomplished. Wonderful job, be proud.

Hahaha yeah. I’ll probably never be able to get there either. I need a better career path.... if you don’t mind me asking @Hedgedrew what do you do for work? I’m assuming mostly investing and working with mutual funds at this point?

As an architect, I greatly respect the work that went into that... I wonder if I could convince my boss to build something similar in my back yard ;Hilarious

Can you help me set up a hedge fund? Do I just start by burying mason jars in the bushes??? I’ve always wondered what my wife does with all those dam jars! ;Hilarious
It takes a lot to get into hedge fund investing though I heard you need large funds to start. May be misinformation though.

Need over 500m just to really breakeven and get institutions. Really over a billion. And you dont get that without big experience and reputation and years of track record.
