'76 Dart Lite -- Budget Boost Build
Bill,
I love your build, and I understand the blown budget situation, but that is monetarily not possible.
I think you misunderstood the thrust of my little post...
I would not recommend what WE did, to
ANYBODY, unless they have sacks full of money to throw at it.
We never intended to end up in the poorhouse (and we just about HAVE) doing this build, but we allowed ourselves to be intrigued by the idea of a ten-second ride, and the smart thing to do, if that was our goal, was to follow the lead that Ryan and Tom laid out for us. I'm not blaming those two guys; they never coerced us into doing
ANYTHING, but their cars just ran
so danged GOOD, we couldn't see anything else but to copy-cat their successful combinations.
I am on a fixed income, and it's not "fixed" very well....:angry3:
My partner, Freddie, has had to come up with money when he shouldn't have, to take up the slack when my credit cards were maxed out, so if you have the idea that we built this project with spare change, well... we struggled MIGHTILY to get this thing together... and, it's taken us about 3 years to do it!
Turbocharging has one thing going for it; you can spend as much or as little as you want, and still have fun.
I really like the plan you have for your car, and I don't see any reason why it wouldnt be 100-% workable!
This board has a lot of people on it who can (and, will) help you.
All you have to do is ask... I'm way excited about your project!:blob:
