I met Dan and Aries (his big lovable Husky) on a dog walk the first time. We talked of the LSR project then and I met him under the same circumstances but in a different city this week. Once again, we talked cars and the Aries and Barklee played and sniffed!Dan Ciechonski, the first engineer to assist with the project at the beginning!
He drew the first computer drawings of the Goldenhawk from my crude graph-paper, scaled on the kitchen, table concept drawings. Dan is on the mend, recovering from a crippling Dirt bike crash in May of 2007. He has had surgery to graft nerves on his spine to allow him to regain full use of his left arm. Dan is a fighter and in good spirits, although quite bored during the long wait for the healing which may take up to two years. The team wishes him a speedy recovery and looks forward to him joining us at events leading up to and including Bonneville.
Later, Kevin Knox, (www.kevin.knox.com) redrew the car using 3D software. It was these final drawings that lead to Aggressive Tube Bending's, Adrian Liciu converting and printing the shop 1:1 scale paper drawings for the original layup. TWO YEARS ago @ February 2007
