Don, same thing happened to me when I had mine built. I was hot. Luckily I'm a pretty good negotiator, so I had a few words with my builder and he knocked the price down. He's used to checkbook racers, not budget builders like me. Of course, he'd probably never answer my calls if I did need him, but oh well I'd never go back there anyway.

That's way more important than an engine! Best wishes for your wife and her recovery.
