    Sorry Don mine is a pedal car and I have no problem with three pedals. Don builds a badass car IMO, and we will not say anything about him being a really good guy. He trys to act like he is mean but he is not. As far as a big horse power engine forget it and save your money, they are really light and scary fast agian IMO

    Dennie, Thanx for the Kudos
    Matt, Yer funny - Can't even start to buy the parts for what you described.
    Lotsa ways to cut corners on a build (which I suspect was done on both cars you showed)
    I refuse to cut corners, it'll alway bite ya in the butt down the road.
    Like puttin a band-aid on a heart attack.
    Do it once and do it right, ya won't be satified if ya short change your self.
    Case in point.
    Had a customer (about 4 years ago who said he had a budget of 35 K, Built him his requested car.
    6 months later he comes back and wants updates.
    Add 10K.
    Now he's got 45 in it.
    Told him when he payed the bill, that if he would have done the updates on the original build it would of only cost around $6500.
    His statement to me was " Guess I should have listened to you Don"
    Seems most 1 st timers have it "set in stone" they know more than some one who's been doin it for 40 + years.
    Good luck on your journey.
    A couple more to wet yer whistle.
