This project has been resurrected. My dad has got himself together financially and I think he's itching for one last project before I go off to college. I'm thinking of doing this whole thing over 2 weeks of Christmas break. If I finish it on time, one last science fair for me, and if not, I'll just finish it up later no big deal.
That sounds crazy, but I think I can do it. You'll know for sure in 4 months. Time to refresh myself on the details and start getting a plan and a budget going.
Old Mechanic and I might have ourselves a little competition going soon.
