Got alot more going on too, but.............

Building a car is a lot of work, its alot like college. Take each part as a college course, : brakes, electrical, mountings, linkages, aligning, cooling...... look at each step one at a time, and take the challenge at hand that day, and move on. After a few painful experiences, you look back, and say, Damn, I did that.
