    Artists...

    You guys truly are artists!

    Any thoughts yet on color? I know a guy that does some sick patina... Sure he would come do it if you payed for the air fare. :D

    How can I get a trained moose to sign complicated forms that cross my desk?

    Maybe on driven night we should have a double feature, The Italian Job followed by all the Project Binky's.

    Yay! I go thru months of Binky withdrawal till the next episode airs, but more than anything I want to see how you're going to engineer around some of the issues you're creating - like where the radiator is going to live and the power steering pump - since you eliminated the speedo drive, how are you going to instrument the car? and so on.....

    Plus, I really want to see just how far outside the body the wheels are going to be and how you're going to build arches to cover them, cause it looks to me like the hubs are already outside the shell, which will make the wheels completely outside the shell as it sits now.

    Enquiring minds want to know! :biggrin5:
