    Yeah I may not go with glass anymore. I am going to try and make my own and if that don't work I will use kitty hair etc even thought there are huge rust holes in it. I am sure it won't be as big of a problem as setting my steering and wiring up. Well wiring I am getting really good at now and can hot wire some cars now, etc and have been learning a lot in my auto tech classes but the only thing about making my own is trying to form the shapes with a dolly and hammer. Kinda sucks having no money or no way to go to a store to buy tools even if I have the money.

    On an older car, to hotwire, all you need to do is run a lead from the coil to the possitive side of the battery and jump the solonoid with a screwdriver, it will fire up. I'v done it with my Chevy, my mom went down to my grandparents and she had the keys in her pocket from getting somthing out of the trunk for me, I had to put the car back up on the ramps, so I ran a lead into the positive side of the battery, and pushed the starter button and it fired up, I pulled it up onto the ramps and pulled the wire to shut it off.

    How about charging a capasitor (sp?) and handing it someone. Heh that hurts. I shocked myself trying to charge it, I held it to the spark comming from the coil wire and instead of grounding it I was holding it. Woke me up.
