Remember the last one. With the car and you separated by some miles it was taking too long and you gave up (at least that was my interpretation). You may want to build the drive train and pick up a used car or near complete kit that someone quit on.

I saw a 9" Ford built into an IRS at the Carlisle (SP?) show. A few years back. Looked like the best all around "eat your cake and have it too" that I have seen.
