    Dan, The only thing I would add to Bob's input is the possibility of power =
    steering. All the mods you're talking of are low-return, hot rodding stuff=
    for a performance-type enthusiast. It sounds like a great driver I, too, =
    would like to find-- R&P and suspension mods would cause me some hesitation=
    ..

    value. Sounds like it has great potential. Bob G
