Dave-I'm having the time of my life, I just wish I wasn't so old.

Rickomatic-Thanks, I just wish it would go faster.

NTFDAY-Brickman-Thanks, being on this site and showing this to the world makes things come out a little better also It's going in Street Rodder

Don-Thanks Don, let me tell you, you and your sons have nothing to hide. you guys have some very nice stuff. There are a lot of nice cars on this site, I wouldn't so this anywhere else. Still waiting for my photo's
This is what people don't realize sometimes. Last month I went to India and to Thailand to check on some business. So I took the drawings of the hood release with me, just to see if it was marketable with the cost for tooling and manufacturing. The tooling was between $16,000 and $20,000. With machining polishing, chroming, and parts it would cost me about $160.00. Now with insurance, freight, amortizing the cost of tooling, and all the rest of the SGA associated with business, have a dealer price in there it would have to retail for about $500.00 to $550.00. You can buy Dan Finks for $325.00. I don't think I could sell enough to recover. Granted the cost could be dropped once the tooling was paid for.


39Deluxe-I have a room at work where extra parts are. Your right it just accumulates. That's why I do renderings now to help stop changing my mind.

This is the panel under my dash. It's not finished but I wanted to show this so you can see how easy it is to hide ugly parts. The air conditioning ducts will be in there and the final firewall will slip in behind this coming up from the floor. There will be 3 separate area's were their will be insulation installed in the firewall. The access heat from the dry sump tank and engine (no louvers in the hood) should be kept out so the air conditioner should keep the car cool in the summer heat. I hope
