If the cage and chassis look up to snuff, I would make some passes like I would to make my NHRA license. If the partial passes feel right and the car is driveable, hell ya!

Too many cars, too many parts, too little coin, too little space to work in, too little time left to make it all happen! Update: down to one ride, still too many parts, a little more jingle in the pocket, gaining space, and it's going to happen this year!
