TC,

The new vin numbers are really for our own use. No one has asked us to do it, although I understand it is much easier for some states to register the cars if they have a 17 digit serial number. Of course, our new serial numbers aren't yet 17 digits, but we are thinking about it.

Ernie,

We detailed the tires because we have taken the car to shows. The tires WILL stay with the car. They do not come looking anywhere that nice from Goodyear. We wipe the original paint off with a tire cleaner, windex etc. and then just use a white paint stick from Wal-Mart to paint the letters back on again. Not too high tech. Just a lot of elbow grease. It sure makes the tires look better though.

Lew,

One of the interesting things about us is you never know what we are going to do next. We do a lot of experimenting to try to get things right.

David
