Yikes! Car is light... weighs 1070 lbs with no fuel, ballast and driver. A good problem to have.

coupemerc - gorgeous, excellent planning and execution on your part.  A lot of late nights thinking this one through and through.  Like the "3 window" too, classy!  DF

Thanks DF. I've been told by more than one person that I have a bad habit of over-thinking things!
Bill...I'm going out with the balance close to Parks/Darcy. It should be pretty safe as their motors are stronger than mine.
