Not a burning statement, just a disappointed shrug at Carroll for the latest SAAC debacle.

Thanks Doug. This is exactly the internal debate that I am in. I know it is a "choice" as stated in the previous posts but I was curious about the internal struggle of other users on the board that informed their final choice.

on another note; I like the thought of honoring AC and the craftsman that made such an amazing looking car. If you think about it, the silouette of the car is what makes it so alluring (coupled with the powerplant).

I started my build as a way to honor the great CS and was later dismayed that my tribute might be viewed as an insult. Now I try to think of my build as a personal challenge of doing something that was beyond my reach....more of a mountain to climb. Lots to think about; maybe I should make an emblem of a mountain....kidding.
