Well I'll Be... now ain't that special.... Teach me to assume yet again....
Hmmm So basicly This car could be Ten feet high and 1" off the ground if

What it means to me Dan.... is in the design of the belly pan I can
incorporate some aerodynamic aids for downforce and keep the air out from
under the car for the most part without using skirts.... hmmm interesting...
have to think on this some...
Keith ( once again Dan... thanks for hanging out )
