Greg learned his craft of chassis and car building from Don Ness. The Plymouth Fury was constructed of 4130 chrome molly tubing from front to back.

Greg was involved in a street-legal land speed car before this project. The plan of driving from Minnesota to Bonneville, UT, then racing the event with the goal of reaching 200 MPH is a tall order, to say the least. ![]() Greg set out to engineer and create a very unique Bonneville Salt Flats Land Speed Car that he will be driving under its own power cross country.
