Kentiki,

For what it's worth my first time working on a car was a solo clutch swap. I've found over the years that cars are (for the most part) put together pretty simply, and if you pay close attention when taking something apart...you can almost always put it back together [/quote]

Thanks! I've been gaining more and more confidence in this area. Tho a clutch still scares me:impatient.....for now!

We do mostly classic restorations, so we like to have a vintage feel in the shop.

What I meant to say is that most projects are classics by the time they get finished.

using all the top of the line products

and ditching the supercharger


so im excited to see what they come up with

everything will be built from scratch and no off the shelf parts, from the look of it so far its not for the faint of heart

BMP / Pro Mini did this in early 2003. Maby they can contact them for some assistance.
