First off, I would like to say hello to the group.

Second, I'm afraid I have some bad news to relate to the group. I know my husband Jeff Troester (Karmaghia) spoke of a few folks and their cars over the last couple of years. it is with great regret that I inform the group of his passing in May of 2012. Aside from tools and misc parts, Jeff left behind a GT2 , and 2 scorpion GTs. Sadly, though the GT2 was built at the Carlisle Kit car show in 2004 (If I recall correctly), Jeff never 'finished' it. (or either of the Scorpions)

I find myself in a position where I have a mostly finished Bradley that needs to be finished AND driven, as Jeff never took it out on the road. I also find myself suddenly lacking my other half, wherein resided the mechanical aptitude and automotive knowledge that I need to complete this project for him.

I look forward to picking the brains of you all here for tips, tricks, etc in completing this totally awesome car and fulfilling his dreams for it.

-Sara (Kit) Troester

Sara,
I am so sorry for your loss. I talked to your husband several times and he was always very helpful. Unfortunately I am not much help to finish the cars as I live fairly far from you as I remember but I am sure someone in this group will be able to help you.

Jeff was always an inspiration to me a long time ago. Sorry I am not any closer to help. How about posting some pictures of the current state of the car so maybe we can gauge what needs to be done.
