Hello all, My name is Eliot, and I'm 16 years old of all things. I'm from royal oak michigan, and ive been into the car hobby since before I was able to walk. As of now I have a 1963 Mercury Meteor, which my dad transformed into a pro touring style car, with a complete SVT Cobra Irs, custom front strut setup, and SVT Cobra brake system. Its got a 302 small block which is basically stock at the moment, but within the next two years, the plan is to have a single turbocharger on it, and hopefully have it into the 11 second zone with some other mods. Even though its not a traditional hot rod or muscle car, I'm working with my dad on a 1963 olds f-85 wagon (his car), and its a legit 215cid aluminum v8 car, but were making a mild custom out of it. Its got a custom front end already, and this year were going to pan the rear end, and hopefully find the factory turbo kit for the car. Besides the cars we own, I am actually working to become an industrial designer, and after high school I will be going to art college (hopefully the college for creative studies), so this way I can eventually get into the car design industry and fix this bad design drought that were in right now and restore it to the way it should be (or at least get as close to that as I can). My style is a mix of the cl***ic designs of the 1950s-1960s, with a good deal of ed roth mixed in as well. Anyway I guess thats about it.
