Michael,
E-mail me privately, so as not to congest the rotary site, and I will tell
you what I'm doing locally.
Premade parts for the Vision are available - it just adds to the cost for us
poor Southerners.
As one Southern gentleman said to me in a broad Southern accent- 'What part
of the East Coast are you from" . I said, "I'm not from the East Coast, I'm
from down south" -"G.d damn - how far south !?' he asked.
True story ! and I've got plenty of them.
