    You asked so there it is.. just 2 cents.
    I'm sure you're right. That's exactly how I figured the Corvette would go over too. And to some people they absolutely despise it. But, it's what I wanted to do.

    I can hear the Corvette crowd over here! Sacrilage!!

    Hey, if it's what you want to do then make it happen! And you're going into it with both eyes open is all that matters. It's an interesting concept and not as far out as a shopping cart.

    Here is a pic of a 32 roadster built by a Boeing engineer in the early 60s with a jet engine (turbine). It is now in the LeMay collection near Tacoma, Wa.

    Unc,

    It's down to that now, a can of five hour energy to keep the juices flowing? Tell me, does it work, I've been thinking of giving it a try.
