All the input provided here, on DM and direct calls has been great and much appreciated. Here’s where I’m at in my process and plans:
Fkying down Tuesday. I’m scheduled to look at two used Funco’s (maybe a third) and a nice mid engine SU. As mentioned in a previous post I’ll meet with Grant and explore a Funco new build and get a demo. I’ll see some friends and look at their Funco’s, SCU’s and other cars along with anything else while I’m at G. I’m hoping to see a late model Alumicraft but not certain yet. I’ll do a second meeting with Alumicraft to discuss a build further. I’m also planning to meet with a third builder on a new build, more on this later depending how it goes. Unfortunately, I have yet to come across a later model AC for sale.
So far this has been a fun process and I’ve already learned a lot. I expect to make a decision by end of next week or soon thereafter.
If anyone has anything else they are considering selling that you think might be a good fit please send info soon.
