I'm Aragorn. Paint & body tech, amateur racer, recovering project car addict.
I picked up a 1992 Lexus SC400 at auction. Bone stock, 65k miles, hadn't moved in 10 years. It became my first car and my first project. Before I could even drive it, it was already being torn apart.
No shop. No sponsors. Just years of paint and body knowledge and a garage to work in.
I took it to Willow Springs International Raceway for my first race. Started P11. Finished P3, passing cars that cost two and three times my build. Newer platforms. More "serious" setups. Didn't matter.
That's why this community exists.
Nobody gave me a straight line to get there. I learned through trial, error, wasted money, and hard lessons. I built this place so you don't have to.
Rough project in the driveway. Want to spray your own paint. Ready to get on track but don't know where to start. You're in the right place.
This is The Redline Revival. Let's build something.
