So let me get this straight. Instead of turning an economy car into a pile of junk, you started with a pile of junk, put a ton of work into it, and wind up with a pile of junk. Good Plan. :roll2: ---

Then it hit a freakin wall, putting about 20g’s of stress on every component/joint/weld/connection on the car. Can you say rattletrap? Good luck trying to sell it in 2 years with that salvage title too. Other than that, welcome to the board, you’ve got an ambitious project there. ---
