Hey hoss,just run what you have and have fun.East Ky. is great,I have family in Hazzard,just get it running and you can improve it as you go,I have had mine for 3 years and still work and improve it every week, I can't afford to buy it all in one day but building is amost as fun as riding "UNTIL THE BEER RUNS OUT'
