    I try and stop with the noise making 'bout the time I get the windshield in. I hate to have to clean it all the time.
    Objects in my rear view mirror are a good thing unless,.... they have red and blue lights flashing.

    All about ergonomics.

    If you don't try it out now and again, how will you know if things fit and are comfortable?

    A lot of important testing goes on at this stage of the build.

    Helps too if you get your sweetie's opinion.
    Invite her to sit in the car with you and listen to her opinion.

    Really listen, you can christen the car later....

    Depending on who you're talking to, running topless in a roadster can mean many things....


    Nuff for now, out to the garage . . . temps are 63 outside and heading for 75.
    A nice day here in the dez - long as the wind doesn't blow.
