Thanks John, I might have some leads on places in CT that will let me observe/participate in the process.

Grady,
I did get the car cheap, cheap enough that i think i could put another 5k into the car is still walk out unscathed. If i do invest in the car, i probably wont be looking to turn it around. I guess my decision would be to dump it now, or go for it all and hold onto the car for a long time. I mean, with the motor pulled, i could strip the car and paint it now. Maybe even invest in a decent set of race seats… I already have my own design for a custom set of door panels modeled after the RS America panels. I guess it really depends on how much money if left in the coffers when i am done with the engine. I will try to do much of the work on my own, under close supervision.
