Oh yeah have a full head of hair so might have many years of
service still left in me LOL in all honesty i would love to
help if i could i just don't know where and how to start. if
they ever want to bounce off me what sounds right and wrong
and would like an honest opinion of what i think is fair i
am more than willing to do that. if voting on issues can be
done via e-mail I am glad to do that also! Anything i do say
or think comes from an enginerring view point though there
are no emotional things about any of it. And no all i want
to help with is the engine side, it is what i know how to
do, I know nothing of wings and spoilers....Even less as to
how wide a 27 Ford ought to be.
