One word of advice, you never give up, no matter how bad it gets, there's always light at the end of the tunnel.

12 years ago when my son was 3, we were told he had a brain tumor and he would not make it is we did not do surgery asap!

We did not give up and after 2 surgery's he is 100% clean. We did whatever possible to make sure he'd be with us today and it paid off. Like I said, you never give up and you keep plugging forward.

If you want to tune chassis's then you'll find a way to do it. Have you ever heard of the name Chet Herbert? He had polio and had to live his life in a wheelchair. He made the first roller cam and was very successful, his son is Doug Herbert, NHRA racer.

You are your only limitation, if you put your mind to something you can do anything.

Good luck with your build and did you say your from the East Coast, if so, where at?
Those who think they know it all have no way of finding out they don't......... :scratch:
