Hotrod, the best build any one of us could do would be a Time Machine! Then we would discover that the same old debate was always there. In my High School, it was the racers vs low riders. Later, in my off-road days, it was rear engine VW power vs 4W/dr. More recently, I've had my fanny handed to me on this very forum for being historically incorrect. I think I did something shocking like misspelling Lions! The only builder community that does not do this is the aviation guys. If your machine gets off the ground, great. And if no broken bones result, you've proved your point.
Don't let fools and know-it-alls push you around. We are all in this because we have a vision and the stones (no offense J) to see it through.
