    I like those speed holes. Next tech week, you will need to do a "how to do speed holes in two steps or less". ;)

    Keep it coming, that windshield make me laugh, needs some modifications.

    Interested in the engine, can you give more details on it?

    Haven't seen to many vette rears here. I thought i was alone. I used the original vette spring. I thought i'd take 3 springs out because of the weight difference from the vette compared to a 28 rpu. But in the end i used all of them. The ride is surprising soft which i wasn't expecting. Ride a old vette and they are hard. I think the differance was i cheomed the springs with teflon in between which made them really slippery. Handles great to even with the I beam up front.

    Wow, a trip to N.Y. could have saved you a lot of time seeing as though you do that in 3-4 days haha. Might have been a little more expensive though. Are you getting old and soft like me? Looks like you're working inside now. I do like the "work lights" around your old work space too. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see what you come up with for the windshield.
