Jim,

I think I must have not been too clear in what I was trying to say--sorry for my mistake. There was a lot of customization that had to take place to make the car in the first place. We spent a long time coming up with custom motor mounts that were inexpensive and yet would still work with the 427 frame mounts. The mount we use now, allows the small block to be bolted right in. There were other little things we had to solve as well--like the gas tank, and such. But, I thought we had solved all of those things...

I believe the only thing that the buyer will have to customize is the exhaust--which shouldn't be too hard--as most customers will just go to the local exhaust shop and get one welded up for them anyway.

If there is ANYTHING else that has to be customized, I would really like to know as we have built very few of these cars and feedback is ALWAYS appreciated. I thought we had worked out all of the other glitches. If not, please let me know and I will get right on it.

David
