LOL, Bill. I was _hoping_ that you would NOT take
offense to this (I actually edited out my "no offense"
remark from my initial draft :). Really, I find it
admirable that you brought that cab back (sure, others
would disagree -- but refer to my original "recycle
it" post).
Whew! Yes, those US Body Source cabs _are_ pricey. I
considered one for about two seconds after having seen
the price.
Relative to the paint remark, I agree. If you have
the where-with-all, there is no sense in building your
house on sand; build it on stone! (opinions may
vary... cash flow, time, etc.)
Take care,
Drew
