Re: How much of your current ride, did you build?
I have done everything on the car. This was my first time doing paint and bodywork. It took several years. I also did all of the electrical, suspension, brakes, drivetrain, and rollbar all of the ridiculess brackets and fabricated parts.
I have to give credit where credit is due though. And that is to friends that gave great advice and what not to do. And that is first and foremost Mark Walton. Mark has built from the ground up 2 other cars and pointed me in the right direction that he wished he had done this or that. I incorporated those idea's into my car. Others that have also helped are Steve Brack. Steve helped get me pointed in the right direction with the clutch. A used G-Force from Jim Voth, who he and his family are what Drag racing is all about. Stuart Goertzen, of Headway Engine Service. Stuart did the heads on my first junk 100,000 mile untouched shortblock with a stocker cam. Stuart spent more time on my new engine last year than I could ever be able to tell him Thank you enough. If you want something done right and attention to detail, Stuart is the man. Last but not least, my wife Rose who believes in me, and also shares the same philosophy. Do things right the first time. I also have the philosophy if you want something done right, Do It Yourself!!
