Welcome to the site!  The guys here are pretty well versed in custom fabrication, and there are some excellent machinists and builders here..  They helped me quite a bit!

Lombardini wow how do you pronounce that?   Sounds like this project is going to be way more expensive then-well anyway welcome to the site.  We will try to follow along as well as possible.  Post lots of pictures.

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

Welcome to the site!  Interesting choice of engine... All of the SAE Baja cars I've seen a competition had to use a Briggs and Stratton 10HP.  Where are you studying ME?
