Ok so lets really talk K-members here Folks

I really enjoyed reading this thread. Very informative and sometimes heated. But here is my two cents: I have been a hot rodder for 45 years. I do not weld but have managed to build some nice cars. I am presently building a 68 Dart race car. I am using an Alterktion front end because it is scary enough to go mid-8's in a car without having to worry about if the front end is up to the task. I leave that stuff to the real pros.
I'm not finished living yet. Yes 5K is a lot of $$ but only my ex-wife would think I am not worth at least that amount. LOL.
