Thanks

Ship it out, have them repair it! Who cares about parts availability in the future? Once it's spruced up it should be good for another 100K miles.

The way I read their response was that it was beyond repair, because those parts were too damaged and they don't exist to be replaced. However, I sent them an emails to follow. Ron also gave me a place to try.

I think if we can't get the blower fixed that we should go N/A but if we can fix the blower we should definitely bolt it on.

I did not mean to imply you guys cannot. Factually, the engine is my last concern. It's a given the engine can be built.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he said the giant round crack is where his head hit the windshield. If I know Joe though, it'll be better than ever when he's done with it  |

Yeah, it hurt. The paramedics couldn't believe I was never unconcious. Spent 4 days in the hospital.
The AC hoses were tied up to the export brace with zipties. A couple of them broke and the hoses dropped down just enough to interfere with the throttle linkage. I couldn't get the accelerator to move. When it did, it pushed past the hose to WOT. The hose wouldn't allow the linkage to return. I hit that loading dock wall ~60 MPH.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

Yep, that was my head. The car is currently under construction.
