Hope this sums everything up and answers your questions. The project was really fun to do. it was however my first major mechanical project and there are probably many things that can be improved upon. but i am proud of the overall performance i got out of the car. i invested over $6000 and countless hours working on the project. i would really like to give it to someone who can finish the project and actually drive it, because i just cant afford to. Im willing to take any reasonable offer at the moment. I CANNOT PART THE CAR OUT AT THE MOMENT UNLESS A PURCHASE OF $3500 OR MORE WORTH OF PARTS IS MADE!! sorry i really need the money.

thanks,

vince
