Hello, new guy here. My name is Joe, some of you know me from Pennock's I've been involved in the replica world on and off since early '88 when I went to work for Eoxtic Dream Machines, building tube frame Countach's and other Porsche based cars. When they closed the doors I bounced around for a while working for a couple places before starting my first shop in '94 Extreme Engineering, this was the result
http://www.kitcarmag.com/featuredvehicles/37918_lamborghini_countach_replica/index.html Body#2 from the molds went to Kstix for his build, I've since lost track of him. (if anybody knows how to get ahold of him lmk)

Here's a link to what I'm currently working on.
http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/068185.html
I bought the truck last summer and have been putting my own twist on it, having gone past the point on no return today!!!

I have my tooling, Compomotive wheels w/ Yokohama tires and a bunch of other stuff that I'll be putting up for sale soon.

Cheers Beers n Gearz. Joe

Yeah I was big into the Countach when I landed the job at EDM, It seemed like a dream at the time, I was living in Citrus Heights and commuting up and down Sunrise Blvd. to Rancho Cambodia, omg did I just say that??? Where EDM was located before moving down to Rancho to ease the drive.

It wasn't any fun in the late '80's either. It's hard to belive that it was more than 20 years ago Shocked
