Hi everybody,

I live in sunny Virginia Beach, VA with my wife Sara, son Charles Daughter Karen and three granddaughters Marley, Kori and Anna. I did 20 years in the Navy as an Aviation Electrician and after retiring oops starting a second career I ended up a computer programmer. My interest is modeling Indy roadsters that will fit a TJET slot car from the early 60's. Its challenging as the wheel base is fixed and not as long as it should be. The width is about 1/43rd scale but the length is around 1/64th.

I'll post some pictures once I figure out how to do it here.
