David, the open house is coming up fast. How far along will the flip-top be? I'm not sure if I can get up to Utah twice in one month. I don't want to miss the open house. Let's call Keith Monday and see how the cammer build is going. If you hurry up with the new engine, maybe you should test it in the flip.. Peace, Darren. PS my wife Lisa watched a KM video and wants me to install a rope in our work gym. A few employees suggested a pole. might need Jamo to get me out the potential sexual harassment cases. I'll stick with the rope.

So are you going to cut the jam out for the original hood and weld it shut like a daytona coupe?

Whatever Darren wants Darren gets

Rule #1 The customer is always right.
Rule #2 When the customer is wrong (not saying Darren is here, I think I'd leave the hood opening too), see rule #1

We should be very close to finished. I'm happy to talk to Keith on Monday. Keith will be assembling our first block anyway to make sure everything goes together right. We have worked with him now for many years. He is a great guy.

Install a rope and put in gym. Our guys (and gals) love it and work out all the time with us now. On a separate note of insanity...

I was reading a book Lew Ledyard sent to me (Thanks Lew!) Younger Next Year when I thought about Jack LaLanne doing crunches as he watched TV in his chair. So, I started to do squats as I was reading. I did about 900. It does make you feel much better.
