Looks like it is for $112:

Yes. Also not sure about computer controls. I think it should work though some calibration adjustment is probably required.

This would make a great Sloppy Roadmaster though. I think we should all build Sloppy hot rods and race them. In my dreams.

Some of us are further along with that than others.

I was under my Caprice this afternoon greasing the front and rear suspension.

Took a look around with the light.

Front: Nothing alarming but some places on the floor are going.
Rear: This seems more concerning. Remember the rear inner frame area where the gas tank is? I said that was soft and sketchy. But I found another problem. Right on the bottom of the frame where it is about to swing up over the axle, there is actually a hole. Uh oh. Sorry, no pics.

Scrape that frame down and paint it.

Also, I have a whole frame you can have. It comes with lots of rust.
