I’ve had a passion for cool cars since a kid. My ultimate dream car? The TV series Batmobile. My dad said to me as a 10 year old kid, “If you want it bad enough you can do it!” Thanks Dad! In 1998 I actually built and owned a bat-replica that is currently on display at Volo Auto Museum in Volo Il. It is so accurate that the the creator of this legendary TV car, George Barris, adorned it with his company crest. This led to creating additional replicas for museums including the Delorean Time Machine from Back to the Future, as well as the Ghostbusters Ambulance built on a 59 Caddy hearse frame. But it was my experience with the Batmobile that educated me on the merits of fiberglass construction. Prior to that, I thought that kit cars were just floppy fiberglass bodies attached to VW floorpans. Once I discovered how technology and designs had advanced greatly, I wanted to share this knowledge with others who wanted to build and own their dream car.
My day job in Radio/TV production allowed me the opportunity to produce a “pilot” which SPEED channel found interest in and the rest of the story has yet to be written.

Of course none of this would be possible without the support of my wife of 20 years, Michele and two kids Christian 14 and Claire 10.
