Still contemplating what way to go with for a motor. I'm down to either staying with a type 4 (R.A.T.)or doing the V-8 thing. I'm not totally sold on doing a V-8 yet, it still seems a little out of character for the car(yet I keep coming back to that option, power and price I guess). I'm afraid of winding up with a "point and shoot" car. Any help?

I dont have any regrets except that I didnt buy one already done. The advantage is I know every single inch of this car. Good and bad. I wanted a 4 also so now I have both. The money is gone now but I will nickle and dime them both till I get them right. The other advantage is getting to do it the way you want it. I built the Chalon to be the exact car I wanted. You can never buy one like that. Everyone has different tastes. Mine will be at the WCC but when you put as much time, love and money into something like this, you really dont want anyone else to drive it. Think of this car like my wife. I dont want anyone else riding her, its mine. Sorry guys. I wouldnt even ask someone to take their car for a drive. I would feel uncomfortable. Like doing someone else wife. If someone offers, I will but I wouldnt ask.
