i LOVE reading this thread!! vt, you make it sound so easy.
i know there's more to it than what i see, but you make it sound effortless - like you were looking for something insignificant in the garage (hmmm... where'd i put that tape measure) and "happened" to find a crate motor, tpi, and some 1 ton axles...
that's freakin awesome! looking forward to hearing more progress.
bummer about the oops...
