I truly appreciate the input from all you guys,
I was looking for information in making a budget/build decision and I am getting quality info. None of the feedback is wrong......just different, and thats what will help me figure this out. Differing opinions keep you thinking and offer options I would not have considered.
I/we have the engine finished and my son and I are going to try and get the next step of this project started before he starts college next fall, we did the motor together and now on to the next step together. If he would have gone to a state school instead of getting accepted to university in DC (sorry, had to brag him up a little) things might be a little looser in the dollar dept.
A big part of this whole build is letting him learn how this all comes together and understanding the intricacies of an automobile...like how a rear axle works
Please keep the feedback coming, every little bit helps.
