[Roadsters] more lightweight race roadster info

[Tim]

Reading Paul's story makes me nervous about my situation:

I have had a complete set of 67.5 gauges at the restorer's (no names, 
but he is in socal) for almost two full years now. Makes me wonder if I 
am going to get screwed. Or have I already been screwed? Can get him to 
the phone. Doesnt return emails. Doesn't return voice mails. Oh bloody 
hell.
