As an added note, would like to add that I have had several requests asking if I'm interested in trading. I greatly appreciate all of the offers, nd believe me, he gesture is not lost on me. The truth is that I'm not accepting trades as I need the proceeds from this car for the downpayment on a new house. I built this car over a period of four years, nd many close friends had a hand in it with me, o it has been a very difficult decision to sell it, ut with that in mind, have started the no reserve auction at the absolute bottom dollar I will accept for it and not regret having it gone. Thank you and good luck!
