Ron,
Glad to see you are back on line. I imagine it was a zoo. I have been there when everything is "normal" and I can't imagine it in chaos as it looks like chaos to me every time I go there.
Lew,
I need to talk to the web guy, (my brother). I hate announcing things--because they take much longer than expected. The 6 piston version would increase the brakes by about 10%. Not much, but every improvement helps. Alas, the calipers are so huge I haven't been able to get them to fit yet. It will, unfortunately, require a new front upright. I imagine I won't get back around to it until next year. Just too many projects right now.

David,
You're spending too much time on those cars. How is the P-51 replica coming along?

Steve,
I would still like to make a replica of the P-51...but I need one to copy and I haven't come across one yet. We are thinking about other projects though...

Re:
David,
I know where you can find a P-51! I used to work for Novell and travelled a lot to Provo to visit headquarters. One day sitting in the Provo airport, a P-51 flew in. I asked an airport employee who owned it. He said that a local gentleman did and that he hangared the plane there. I got to walk by the P-51 to catch my flight. Written on the engine cowl was "Mormon Mustang". I figure you could track down the owner pretty easily and scan in the dimensions to make future replicas. No more excuses...get on it!

Bluedog,
I have seen that P-51 on several occasions. It is sitting in my brother-in-law's old hangar. The only problem is I would need to take it apart...
Now as for the B-17...
Is that guy interested in cool cars?

David,
I have a few thousand parts and several airplanes laying around here, in fact one is being torn apart for phase MX right now. What are you waiting for, get your CAD stuff loaded up and get out here ASAP!

Dude (U-2),
I would kill to get a ride in your ride! Well, I'd probably GIVE you my ride for a ride in your ride.
My 608 hp sucks compared to what you ride. As for the parts...lets talk!!!
I think I said ride too many times in this post...there must be a rule on that somewhere...Ron????

no rules broken... multiple "rides" allowed.
There is, however, a quota on "things in quotes". 
For Jeff to give you a ride, I think you'd have to sit in his lap....
...and wear some really weird clothes. |

I guess if I have to ride in Jeff's lap for a ride in his ride, then I will ride in my ride--until I get to his ride--to get a ride in his ride. (All the time getting a ride on his lap while in his ride--in funny clothes, of course.)
Whatever it takes!

Thanks for the visual, Ron. I'm gettin' ready to crash, and I can't get the picture of David, wearing a baby doll and french cut panties(FTF), sitting in U2's lap.

Oh, you were probably talking about a flight suit and MAST.  Sorry. |
