Whizbang will become famous soon enough
So where do i start first?

This is the question that i have posed to myself. Its simple but the answer is somewhat complex. I'm 22, recently married, getting into an apartment to establish myself more in Colorado and trying to eventually buy a house in the next year or two. I am going to need a place to store this car, as well as my FB that is still in Ohio and probably another car or two. Additionally, i have tools and spare parts to consider.

So all of life's hassles aside. Here is my "current" plan of attack subject to change with out notice.

Phase 1: The engine.

Getting the car running and driving is my first goal. This will include tackling issues with keeping the car cool and maintaining a reliable state.

Phase 2: The suspension.

Once i can start to drive the car again, i can start figuring out what the suspension needs.

Phase 3: The chassis.

One of the single most expensive items is the roll cage. I want to go with an FIA hom. design so i wont have to worry about updating it every two or so years. Plus my confidence in the cage is paramount. I will be seam welding and reinforcing during this whole process.
