Hey Fred: great job but you should rename your thread "Freds build on two budgets" Your build is fun to watch and I really like the car. I'm speechless from hearing how you raised your family! You are the man.
You would have done the same raising your kids I'm sure.
And as far as my car sure would like to have some of you guys close by to help me figure things out I'm not real smart when it comes to putting it together and wiring is my biggest problem.
If I get it done taking it on a road trip to Washington and would like to stop by and see your car and maybe have a beer with ya.
