Hope you find your new spitty soon, an I know Henry
has been suffering "the no spit blues". He's outside
now installing rear end in frame...such fun, lots of
copper anti sieze on long bolt :-)..

He did find a value of more seats when he took the
Buick park avenue to college after wreck. He and his
roomate took 6 coeds to dinner and partying....Hummm
more girls?????

 He will not give up his spitty though....
He hopes to have it finished so he can got to mid-ohio
festival, but doesn't know exactly where it is yet.
Well hope you find your spitty!!!!!
