Too many bumps/potholes etc. out there for me.  Give me poly bushings.  On a race circuit: give me solid rod ends.  On a track, you don't mind the telescoped noise and vibrations that you will feel.

Much appreciated Solrac!
I met a man with a dollar, we exchanged dollars and we still had a dollar. I met a man with an idea, we exchanged ideas and now we both have two ideas!!!

It's called a Kit Car Show and it's in Carlisle, Pa. every year in May.  Don't expect any TV cameras or reporters though.

if people respected other people for what they do instead of trying to find ways to capitalize on it for their own selfish reasons then by all means parts would be plenty and cost effective.
but until those people stop riding on others efforts to make a cheap buck then we all suffer about it. this is the unfortunate damage of what this hobby has become.

This hobby we all share is very special. You are absolutely correct but think about if we could all pitch in and rent a park to display our built toys. Do you realize how much attention that would guadner from TV and reporters. We have the potential to create something that could out live yourself and your kid. We could leave a unique legacy behind to live forever.

Thanks bro man I wish we could just all help one another and share ideas and parts. It would make the build cheaper and worthwhile. Why can't we ALL envision helping I another then plan a trip to just meet and rent a part and just marvel in our builds that we all had parts in in some way that's my vision.

I'm glad to see you aren't throwing in the towel Jadams. After everything you have been through, it takes real perseverance to continue to work toward your car and not give up. ::thumbup

If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?
