 Well it's not like ALL replicas are that "well designed". There is considerable variance between any given "kit car" manufacturer, home built, used vs new parts, taking measurements for that new drive shaft, jury rigged suspension mounting points, etc. There are even "home built" Shelby's and Kirkhams out there that might be suspect on some level. |

It is not my imagination. You are indeed more clever this year than you were last year.  |

Electrical tape? I always thought you used pipe insulating foam to protect your roll bars from freezing.

Cheap roll bar padding from Summit, and even cheaper electrical tape. So far, no freezing and no electrical shocks. And just to provide an additional laugh, I have been doing it exactly the same way for over three decades. |

Give up, Ernie. Just admit that IRS setups are a waste of money.  You will never, never change anyone's opinion. |

The true test of character is... how we behave when we don't know what to do.
