Been there brother. I can say from your story that I truely "get" the name. Perfect for where you were at and where a good number of us have been (still are?). Looking forward to seeing the car at RTTC.

They had to use all kinds of duct tape, plastic bags, etc. to make it all work. I felt the pain and could identify--LOL. So, that's how it came to be. Seems like the car fights me with just about every bolt on.
