Any pic of that? How does it sound?

At least your project is coming around. Mine is just starting.

I'll keep an eye out for your car. So if you see some 42 year old nut in a maroon 2001 Passat flashing his lights at you, that's me. I have five 71-73 Mustangs, but none currently on the road (hence my current garage design project).
