Ron, I agree that the beauty of our hobby is floating our own boat. I rambled on for a few paragraphs and didn't really get to the point.
You really don't know what you've built until you turn the key and hit the open road. We are basically mildly engineering our own cars. Everyone has expectation of what they want out of their car. I'm trying to remind some of you that what you think your building and the end result may very well be different. There are so many decisions that are made building these things from scratch that are easily the wrong decision. The sorting of a car is just as crucial as the build. That's where many cars hit the road block. You have to work out the bugs and change some things to your liking. You also have to change things to make them more reliable. I've done things where I felt it was a masterpiece and it didn't work out. I'm guessing GM didn't build the first C6 vette and take it out for the first drive and it was done. This is no different. I'm happy to say I'm almost to the end of that long road and I'm not ready to start over on my behalf at least. If things go the way they should in the next 30 days. I may be taking on a project or two a year just for the love of the game and fun money.
