Alright! Got a little extra cash and I was able to stay in my budget. Mostly.. I found a EZ 21 circuit mini kit for 160. Still waiting on it, but it looks very complete compared to the very cheap ones. Heard a bunch of good stuff on EZ so I hope it's all good.
One of you guys recommended I read a site and I found this. Using a ford solenoid relay..
