David you are making this look way too easy.

Looks like it's about time to break out the rivet gun.

I looks like the way the birdcage is being done it may end up being quite a bit easier to got the body on and off the chassis.

Maybe tomorrow. We have been a little tied up an a "side" project

We are working to see if we can make it so we can remove the body "easily."

We were making cars and having almost all the work done in our factory in Poland. So, you could say we started out as both--in Poland. As the years went by and the sales went up, we started going more and more things with CNC equipment. We started out with 1 CNC lathe (13 years ago and that baby is STILL running every day). Now we have 7 CNC mills and 4 CNC lathes.

Thanks for the kind words!

We haven't called any mags. Don't think we will have time to either. Once the car is done, we will deliver it.

I have my ways.

You mentioned it last season. I dig the sharks too. They are the ultimate predators.

Ohhhhh,

I guess I can never hide.

One day I want to go diving in a cage and see a Great White. One of my life's goals.

Along with a few more on my list:

Seeing a Mountain Gorilla in Rwanda
Playing Chopin's 1st Ballade in G minor
building a tree house with my kids (1/2 way through that one)
visiting Kruger National Park and seeing a lion, elephant and a rhino with my wife and kids
visiting the Galapagos Islands with my wife and kids
climbing the Grand Teton (again) but this time with kids (whoever wants to)
and a few more things I will save for later...

David

OMG!!! I just caught up with the last 10 pages, I never thought when I mentioned video taping this thing it would come out as great as it has. The videos have brought an entirely new perspective to everything and things just get better and better. Can't wait to see the next one and keep on checking off the list of what you want to do. One of mine is owning a cobra and now it is driving it under 10 seconds down the quarter mile.
Keep on having as much fun as you can because it is going by so fast!!!

Thanks for the little pieces of enjoyment you give all the rest of us on this car.

Jim.
