Back pain =. I had a dirtbike accident when I was 20 that compound fractured 3 vertabra (crushing breaks) right between my shoulders. I was VERY lucky not to be paralized but the pain is always there and one reason I do alittle bit at a time and tend to walk away from it for a few months at a time. I push myself kinda hard on some stuff and I pay for the next few days or weeks so I feel your pain.
If you have help its not too bad...but I would also say wait and see how thing heal up before you throw in the towel and get rid of a car you put so much into.
Also who is to say if you already have the money saved up you could not have the mustang and DD a DAMN nice family truckster in one of the SRT models. I doubt that a shortblock (IIRC that is your issue) will cost 13k for what your combo is, working on your 1/3 socked away for a 40k car. Unless your thinking of building a stroker dart based forged shortblock of course.
"Help" with the car would be an understatement. I cant thank Joe and Roger enough (and a few others) they have given me with this car. Im thinking 15k would have this car almost Show-quality with speed compared to the same 15k just for a down payment. I wouldnt be able to buy a NEW CAR until next spring anyway, so there is plenty of time to decide. Roger said if we dont change the K member, our work will really be pretty easy and straight forward..
Thanks

...thats like saying an killer kinda has the nickname "the car that set the bar". I bet 99% of this board thinks your car is way past almost show quality as it sits.
