Two things..
1) Justin, I'd be interested in seeing this also... I'm doing a cage
later this winter (with / for / scott barr) this is for a spitfire but it
sounds like your info might be good for planning purposes...
2) is the search engine working on the fot list? I had trouble the other
day also.... (but I was just looking for something humorous....)
