I'VE RAN INTO PROBLEMS WITH A BAD COIL ON PLUG on my Sparktech (Caused cyl. wash-down & almost destroyed my engine & my bearings got chewed up a bit),

-Aeromotive sent out a bad batch of FPR SPRINGS! Had to wait awhile, but finally got that replaced), then ran into fuel pump pickup leaking from the weld(Need to put a bulk-head fitting in it, or buy FullBlown Racing's setup), I took a new job, haven't had time to mess with it, and a bunch of other misc. issues. ALSO, I HAD FURTHER HEALTH ISSUES(retinal hole in my right eye from Iraq that has gone unnoticed all these years that I need to have surgery on)& THE PROJECT IS ON HOLD UNTIL I REBOUND FROM LIFE'S AWESOME SUCKER PUNCHES.

LOOK FORWARD TO COMPLETING IT & RACING IT.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS APPRECIATED.

**********************Does the wish list ever really end?

Background: Through numerous health issues after serving in Iraq, buying a house, learning the hard away about cheap parts(when you're new to modding cars you do lots of dumb stuff), shady performance shops, thieves, distractions(started messing with Euro cars, motorcycles, Diesel trucks, chasing women, partying too much, traveling, breaking up with girl, going to school, taking a new job, etc.....you guys understand LIFE HAPPENS).

Just wanted to inspire other people to have fun in this hobby, work hard, and do what you're passionate about. Also, help other people out if they decide to shave their engine bay.

I did most of the work myself & with a few good friends helping me out. This is my first attempt at building a wannabe race car, 6yrs in the making, learning how to weld, body work, paint, wiring, soldering, custom fab., compiling your wish list & then getting realistic, redoing stuff, rethinking your build, waiting a few yrs. & then better parts come out, you name it! I appreciate any constructive criticism, as I still need to finish it(axles, seats, drive shaft, lighter wheels & tires, some wiring, fuel, tuning, & work out a bunch of other kinks).
