Hey Tech,
I just went over there and read the whole thread & its all on motors And I'm alergic to grease.........LOL
I never had the desire to learn to build my own motors as I have a few friends that are master GM mechanics & trade out work with them when I need help in that department.

If he needs help on the body work Or painting I will be there in a heart beat!!!!
It appears that the body needs no work so I'm at a loss at giving him advice on the motor.
