Thanks for the kind words. I am sure the speed will slow down a bit once the drive line is complete as I will have to then fabricate a frame building table and start figuring out the framework. I have wanted a M3W for years and am determined to have a version of one. This project I figured would take between 2 to 2.5 years to complete, hopefully with a rolling chassis by this fall. The whole vehicle has to be built, then tore completely down for paint,powder coat,and to do some work to the engine and transmission. Then it will be re-assembled for the final time and put on the road.
