he helped me pick it up and we had to stop at his house to pick up my engine stand i let him use. so it was only in his driveway for 20 minutes. ( but it was in the back of his truck for 3 hours )


racing-- that's the only place i know of that sells them. i believe it's the only place you can get them since they make them. i've seen pic's of home made ones.
