Has for GD I only have pieces of the story & will not comment other than it's always easy to draw anything on paper. Trust me I've been involved with the best in Nascar & have used every program sim tool known including 40% rolling road windtunnels & full scale rolling road windtunnels in Europe. Nothing will ever totally replace building the real car (or boat) & running at the track (or on water in this case). It's always easy to watch someone do something & piont out mistakes. It's alot differant when your in the middle of a project up to your neck trying to find answers. That's my .02

Then why finish the interior, finish rigging it and then top it off with that $$ paint job if it wasnt proven yet.

I do hope it was made right for Bill, regardless of his financial situation, he shouldn't be supporting manufacturers R&D.

Nobody is condemming OL.

Cars are significantly less than whatever that boat cost!!

Plus most of the cars arent completed with drive train and everything!!

Not even close. I've worked for Ford now going on 4 years & have been in styling studios where they are getting displays ready for the Detroit auto show & you would be surprised what is actually under the body & holding the seats & dash up in some of the concept cars. Also if you think there aren't cars that the factories have way over a million dollars invested that are not running your mistaken.

Thanks buddy have not heard from you in a while. Hey tell Mike I'm sorry I just could not step up to the plate on that v-bottom project he offered me. I have to get rid of some toys in the closet.

The GTX is f-ing awesome. I'm getting cat fever though. That's the other reason I backed away from the vee project. I'm putting some brake duct hoses on the deck naca's & would like to put some little round vents in the dash pionting at the driver. Can you guys help out with the little vents?
