New from Illinois
 

Hello all,

I'm new here to this board. My name is Mark Morey from Sugar Grove, Illinois. I've been fabricating machinery for many years for a living and I have been building and driving drag cars and midget cars for just about as long.

I have designed and fabricated drag cars from the ground up, doing everything from the CAD designs to the paint and everything in between. I have also built midget racers from the ground up, utilizing current chassis designs and using hot rodded "junkyard" engines for racing in a sportsman class. I loved my time racing midget cars but they are not as easy to run as a one man team than a drag car so I'm back to drag racing with an old Camaro that I bought race-ready.

I'm interested in furthering my shaping skills and getting into body panel repairs and replacements. I would like to do more restoration work on vintage race cars and custom work on street rods and current race cars.

I'm currently putting a midget car together for a friend. I don't know what my next project for myself will be. Part of me wants to build a more modern, lighter drag car and the other part wants to pull some pre-WWII car out of a barn or weeds and build a street rod. Recently, there was a 1941 Studebaker Champion coupe basket case on Ebay for a decent price. That looked like it had big possibilities. Who knows?

Thanks

If I loaded these correctly... The altered is the first car I built from scratch, I did everything on this one. The midget car is my last roundy-round car, it had a 2 liter Ford Focus motor that ran pretty good. I bought the bare chassis on this one and built it from there. Both cars were a lot of fun.
