My little brother has the MSD and he fabricated his own "shelf" out of sheet metal. I'm suppose to hook up with him this weekend so maybe I'll snap a pic of it. >I really like the B&W version of that photo too, robert, would you mind if >I posted it on our forum? It's your photo. If anything, I should be asking you if I may be allowed to use it. :^) One of the girls here at work said that the image has a "vintage" look to it. I think I will make a contest out of it. Not sure what I'll give away as a prize but I think it would be fun to have a "caption" contest for that pic. >Maybe the day will come when our cleveland roads will be graced by jiggy =) >-M (* snip *) Never know. I've been itching to do another West to East coast tour/drive. But with the new daughter (http://www.lindsy-kuhn.com) who just turned 8 months last week (my God how time flies!) it makes it hard for me to not only attend such events but to plan them as well (at least outside of my own County). We'll see... perhaps next year... B^) Robert K. Kuhn CRX Owners Group President (http://www.crx.org/southcal) 1990 Honda CRXsi (http://drive.to/jiggy) ICQ # 3714283 (nickname: godzilla)
