Jay- try to do as much of the work as possible as you can.. PM if you have any question to guide you in the right direction.. If you can get as much of the body work done urself.. you will save a ton of money..

Yes.. This hobby is expensive.. but it is a hobby that we try to do as much of the work ourselfs.. I used do it all before I started doing it as business..

Keep you posted.

I will be taking it to the local shows we go to just to use for a display with our wheels, also to auto cross it if I get free time. I am going to drive it much as I can.

I don't need anything over the top.
