I totally agree, my time to devote to this project is scarce so this thing is being done in stages:
1) get it together in one peice and driveable using stock sheet metal, paint it one color start driving it daily to work,
2) make a 1 peice fiberglass front nose bulb, and leave the rear section alone
3) remove rear doors and modify rear
(in there somewhere install a XFI cam , tune up the engine, run thin synth oil , get a scan guage or sinilar to monitor MPG, hot ig coil, look into warm air intake, remove alternator belt,in the summer I fugure I can run to work and back without a Battery charger, at home I park where I can start the this just by coasting down my hill, still trying to figure out how to run the water pump more efficiently, maybe trim the inpellers? or add a lighter larger diameter pulley?? ..etc. etc..)
