I think this is important. Before you invest in funds and time for the final build. You might learn things that save you effort in the end, and give you information for tweaking the design before you fully commit with materials that can't be as easily altered. I just remember my own disappointment.

Post a dedicated thread for someone's assistance?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
