I plan to buy a new Chevy this November so I will pull the engine and tranny and re-build/re-enforce and also re-do the body for strength so it will hold up better for the long haul. After all, since it will be a middle-of-the-road Chevy I should expect to have to re-do most everything and I should not expect it to last as long as to be relative to the cost investment.

After some thought, I should go ahead and spend an extra 50k and get something that is really going to be road worthy! Then I would not expect to have to rebuild something I purchased brand new. [X(] [X(]
