Transformation has begun!
Nice build up 
If you ever get bored and need someone to drive it let me know 
Sorry to hear about your disability too. I was in an accident last year and still dealing with it. Hopefully mine will not be permanent. It is definitely not worth the pain, suffering, and reality of losing a big part of your life. I look forward to hearing how it does

Did you ever think of investing the $$$ you got instead of dumping into something that unfortunately will just depreciate?
That way in 5-10 years you could possibly buy 10 Evos.
Gonna be one hell of a ride though

On the other hand, if you're building to race and your crew knows their shyte ... Go Brave Dude!!!!

Yea, I know I ain't your Pop. But I know $$$ always fun out and how much you got is never ennough to get you what you should have.
Still, since you're obviously comitted to the evo ... keep us informed bro!
Guys, I have plenty of money left over after the build. Don't worry! I also just started back to work a few weeks ago and I'm making $18 an hour as an electrician working with an old friend. We use to work together many years ago at the same electrical company and he asked me to come work for him and possibly be partners.
It doesn't keep me from working anymore, but I am in a lot of pain 24/7. What can you do. Suck it up, right!
My lifetime limitations are no lifting over 20-25lbs, no free climbing(including ladders), no more sports, and no excessive bending, pushing, pulling, squatting, or twisting. What upset me the most about this is the fact the doctors told me I couldn't pick up my kids if they weigh more than 20-25 lbs. Have you ever had a child looking up at you crying asking for you to pick them up. Sucks that I can't do that now. I just have to find different ways of doing things now.
The ladder thing is kinda tough since as an electrician, thats the only way you can hang a light fixture. Going up and down a ladder a few times throughout the day kicks my butt.
I had a joint fused in my lower back, two 2 1/2 inch titanium screws installed, and a section of bone from my hip moved to the joint to help with the fusion. I also have a herniated disc in my neck which they won't do surgery on because it doesn't press on the spinal cord, but it does hurt all the time.
I also had the periformis muscle in "my butt" cut in half because the psiatic(sp?) nerve passes threw it and it would releave the shooting pain down my leg. By having this muscle cut, it really makes it painfull to move around like normal.
I can work, but I just have to be careful not to do anything that could reinjure me.

If I can be allowed for make a couple dumb comment that I hope will bring a smile to all.
1. There is good news as I don't see 'no dwinking' on that list.
2. Also, how come Steve Austin was able to lift much much more than normal folks when he had much less installed?
I say, forgit dem thar evo and soup up your periformis muscle (butt).
Keep us informed with your mods man!!!! Glad you're back at work.
