new build in Akron, OH

[magicbob]

Well the wife has given her blessing to build a locost.
So I think my first order of business is to find someone relatively local and see if I can get my big butt into and out of one. I am in Akron, Ohio and am willing to drive a 100 miles or so to see one up close.

I have been lurking here and on other boards for a few years, and have a pretty good idea of what I want to build.

Thanks
Bob

Welcome Bob! I'm from Ct so I can't really help you, but there are some Seven owners from your area that are on this forum that should be able to help you out.

Hi Bob,
I'm 70-80 miles from Akron. I have two different types of Locost and your welcome to come check out the build pictures and cars. I'm recovering from a blown Appendices and not cleared to drive. Depending how big you are you might not fit in dads car, its a standard width Locost. I can PM you details if your interested.

Andrew,
Thanks for the invite, I am a rather large guy over 6'1 and over 250.
I pretty well know I will not fit a standard book car, I would still love to come and check them out and pick your brain for a while.

Thanks
Bob
