This has never been done before, so I accepted the challenge. Big problem is I cannot spend but $500.00 on the project. The project start date is April 1, 2005. I have one year to complet the project.
Thanks for all the input. It gave me some good ideas. By the way, parts donations (not money) do not count against the budget...haha..I don't know what I need yet except a boat....
I will be posting about this and asking questions as the project progresses...All input is vital and is truly appreciated...
Sincerely,
Tom
