Strong electrical background, Vehicle upgrades, Hobbyist

4x4 enthusiast, I have built several Jeeps and trucks for offroad use. Upgrades to suspension, drivetrains, transmissions and engines. I enjoy classic cars as well. Also I am a scale hobbyist, from vintage toy restoration to radio control vehicles including Airplanes, helicopters, cars, and slot car racing. My custom scratchbuilt slot cars are highly regarded. I enjoy electronic repair also. I love trying new ideas, just for fun, even if on a small scale.
