You can build a 260 mph car cheaper than you can buy one?
Hmmm, funny, I can't build the 160 mph car I'm working on cheaper than I could have bought a 248 mph car.
Have you checked with GH? I talked with him this morning, and his 248 mph Stude is still for sale.
Just sayin.......
gary sent me an email about his car. kind of a hassle to go to that far for a car. plus i am starting to have reservations about buying someone elses car that has been on the salt for awhile. thinking starting fresh. i think if i shop around, do my homework, alot of elbow grease, and i think i might build a car that i could call my own. make my own history with my car instead of buying someone elses history. that might be ok if i were buying a car for monterey, but for me on the salt, i am thinking fresh. there is this certain fairlane that i really like alot, but the deal i was hopeing for kinda fell thru. still thinking about that car too. it's done and proven. but there again someone elses history. i just don't know what to do yet. all i know is i am running out of time. need to get a car soon.
I'm scrambling to have my car ready for next year. I gave myself a year, because I knew that was plenty of time. Well, it SOUNDS like a lot of time, but to do it right, I'm finding it's not.
I think we read about successful racers, and they make it look easy. I think it's easy to forgets the trials and tribulations they have experienced, and just concentrate on their successes. I know, after starting this build, on a car built to go not nearly as fast as GH's, or a lot of other cars for sale, that I could buy a SUCCESSFUL, PROVEN car for far less than I can build one.
However, I applaud your desire to do it on your own. I wish you much success.
I do, however, hope you remember this is supposed to be fun, and that records may or may not come, regardless of your plans or intentions. Good luck!
