Hey guys, I'm Ronnie, a fabricator/mechanic here in the Lake Norman area. A Chevy guy all the way. Always wanted a tri5, never could find one at the right time. Had quite a few Camaros and pickups, My buddy found this "gem" and told me about it, so I went and bought it, I thought ... I'll have this finished in about a year. that was 2009. But still plugging along and starting to look like something. Thanks for the invite!

Two door Handyman wagons are pretty cool, kind of a little brother to the Nomad. Here's one that we built a C4 Corvette conversion frame for. It has a 1000 HP turbocharged LS engine in it, 4-wheel disc brakes and is quite the sleeper. He was a neighbor of mine and built this car for his wife. He has another 55 2-door sedan with a 1500 HP twin turbo LS that he races.

Mine is currently in the works. its sitting on C5 driveline, finishing up outside metal work. hopefully get the body back off the chassis to clean up the floor underside, after the floor modification for driveline clearance
