There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

Of course David, why do anything simple, given your background and talent. ;)

I had my first bedford at the age of 15.
was driving past a wrecker and they had a CF body shell just sitting there, I fell in love ... luckily they weren't far from my home so they brought it down on a fork hoist. then not long after I gave it a 4 inch roof chop, fibreglass flares and spoilers ...  never had a screen or built engine for it (had a 350 v8 in parts but hadn't started rebuilding engines yet). In the end swapped it for something
