thanks for the replies everyone. Yes, i deal with Rick's european quite often and find them very helpfull and fair. I got a ton of wood and other misc parts for my car, and they are willing to weal and deal on somet things (which for 17 i'm quite good at, got a center console peice of wood for 30 bucks ) They also helped me out with my window regulator assembly and installation, i was out having problems in their parking lot putting it back in and Jim came out and gave me a quick hand. He also showed me how to put the plastic slide on(and did it for me!) I wish they did mechanical work but they don't, only body oriented and the mechanical that goes with the body, not SOLELY mechanical work. thanks for the note about the shop past tampa, i may head up there and stop in that shop on my way to my g-mas who lives in brooksville. Thanks again for all your help, i think i'll just check my connections at the motor as i was fishing around up there when installing my amp power cable. thanks again
