    If that was true then you would be building a motor, never works out that way..

    It's more like want and need...

    Have thought about it building the motor internal but no need not for racing. So just the stuff that keep the motor running healthy.

    Finish line does good work, they are by six flags off Thornton rd.

    As for the build, I would rebuild so everything is fresh.. Then you know for sure, remember measure twice, cut once!!

    New clutch and all gasket seal and all the necessary things since the motor is still out of the car.
    kool ima try and google them out. I had miracle glow as a choice but don't really how good they are with the price that I want to spend on the body and paint.

    $4000 for wheels and an unneeded engine wire harness plug. Man, unoriginality is expensive.

    Finishline has done 6 cars for me, only 1 did they do bodywork, but turned out good.. Normally do my own bodywork and prep!

    Only other place in which I know of the quality is Hardy Chevrolet, the painter Ken is a long time friend, but be prepared to spend 2-3k since the work is top notch!!

    Nether will give you problems..

    seems like you are on the right path, if i were you i would spend the money you are about to spend on the body in internal engine stuff, from pics the body looks very decent.

    Edit: yeah, you would need a clean body to rock some ccw's , good start
