I had my toothed wheel design sent to China for fabrication I'm going to have to wait for those to come in on some slow boat. That may take a while. I have located a radiator builder, he wants 680 to build it. So I will have to have an E-bay sellathon of 129 parts to pay for this. The radiator is the last "big ticket" item I'm aware of that I need to purchase. Then I really do need to reupholster my seats they are shot. So I'm hoping to do $1500 in sales next month. That will take care of the radiator and upholstery.

I also located a guy with a Star Diagnostic System that may be able to reprogram the Transmission controller.

So the work ahead is clear cut but significant.
