So these cars go fro about $45,000.00 on the lower end from turn key places.

Finally, here is credit to those who assisted me in
this undertaking:

Allen Buss
Some of the additional merchants / people who
supplied parts

What started as one project ended as another, but it was completed.
If it has done nothing else, it has inspired at least one child to take up
electrical engineering to be able to create something that will surpass these humble
efforts.
