...sound good to me. And... since it's all photos of 'my' toys...
I receive all proceeds! Plus I'll have something to work
on afterwards ... for the '2nd edition' :-)
On a side note.... I'm putting together a list of all the 'crap'
vendors sell as 'functional' that 'is not' the right parts for our
cars.
Yep... received another today... I ended up spending
about three hours...designing, laying out, and wiring up and wrapping
my own D type O/D wiring harness for B.R. The one I got (new) was
no where close to the proper layout or wires needed.
(kind of expected that though)
