What are the odds that a $1.5M car AND a dingbat with a camera phone AND a 30 yd stretch of marsh levy WITHOUT retaining rocks all happened to arrive at the same place at the same time????

DB,
The car is making good progress....the last 5% seems to be the longest. Sidepipes need some tweaking on position, just got the dash covered, now have to install and wire up. Air cleaner won't fit because on JBLs the engine sits way back in there so it will not clear the back of the scoop, so the base is in the machine shop. Then carpet, install HID headlights etc. etc.
John
