I used the phraseology loosely, but your point is well taken. Although the ultimate builder is the scratch builder, the guy who buys a kit or even a roller and actually does the homework to select and fit his power train to the chassis is still a "builder". Each of us is gifted with different skills. When I paint it looks like a wino did it with a brick! When I do engines it looks better.

God bless you guys down there Merv! You have been and continue to be inspirational to us back here - especially us guys trapped in Kalifornia.

We are rapidly heading down a nanny state emissions regulation road similar to the one you guys struggle so against. Hope we can throw a switch somewhere before the end of the line and get our train on a different track.
