I'm sure I've said this before, but if I'd known just how much work this turned into, I would have bought a completed car and dropped my drive train into it. BUT, I didn't and this project has certainly turned into a learning experience. It is very satisfying to have something come together. With all the help from Mike, Dave, and Hector, someone is usually able to come up with an idea of how to do something that works out real well. This build is nothing like a KIT car where all the pieces are pre-engineered and just need to be assembled. Practically EVERY piece has needed to be thought out, fabricated, re-fabricated, and re-re-fabricated before it is put in place. None of us are engineers but we're building a car that will be 'way far better than it was originally. Then, if I can just get it to carry BOTH front wheels through 2nd gear, instead of just the left...
