I'll pass along your "Hello".

Thanks again for taking the time out to document more of the car and adding the additional pictures. I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong, and have already sent my $20 to Mike.....Can't wait to find out more details of the car and it's build out. Dave was always a stickler for keeping excellent files on everything he touched. Hoping he has the documentation on this one of a kind Contemporary to share.

Given the drivetrain and aluminum body, I'm going to up the value to the $85,000-$95,000 range to the right buyer, once fully sorted and updated.
