OK, let me get this right? The roll bar bolts were tight just TOO long? Now that I can believe. I've had a note on my chalkboard for months to get two new 5" bolts! For the life of me I couldn't remember why I wrote that!

Gas Tank, if it's out and you can get the Cobra in your neat trailer just leave it out. (That's right I put a winch in there for you!) I asked but must be irrelevant now if the tank was leaking or the fitting was the culprit. either way I will test again, only this time under higher pressure and that will be cured.

On the bottom of the left rear 1/4 with the Cobra on the hoist I can make out the "haze". Yup little more buffing will do it! I will most likely buff the entire car out to "Finish" this time. You should not have any more hazy complaints!

Lights: You would not believe the lights I am putting in the shop! I am replacing all the "Metal Halide 400w. Bulbs with a new kind of light. Kind of like the little pig tail lights everyone is supposed to change too. They even fit my Metal Halide fixtures but you have to completely take out the Ballast and NOT use a Ballast at all! They are amazing, simply amazing and talk about a pure white light! I was going to change all the lights to T-8's and the guy suggested these to me. 1/3 the price of T-8's, 1/10th the cost of Halides and the fixtures. Right now if I only turn two on I have MORE light than having 6 of the Halides on!

10,000 hr bulbs, penny's a day VS $1.00's and hour Halides!

Anytime after October 1st fella. DV Jr. - Randy is getting married (Finally) in the middle of Sept. in South Carolina. (Giving him my 23' Carver and trailer for a wedding present! Will have plenty of room for your own parking .

Spring time will be more than enough time, even if I am slowing down these days!

Can you get me the width of the bottom of the Kirkeys again? Actually the widest part at the top of the cushion, this will make or break em!

The dash wont be a problem at all, just draw me a diagram of how you want it now. Still need the extra Knee room on the left side? Dead Man pedal, take it out or leave it?

You made an (off?) comment about having a aluminum gas tank made. If so I should leave that up to you. NO place around here that I know of to get one made. I can have it made through the Internet like I did for DV II and they did a wonderful job but that was at least a half of a wheel barrow of money!

Looking forward to it!
Dv

PS haven't got a 302 EFI motor laying around do ya? Women!!!!!!!!
