    Wow, Rat! Filing out a key with a nail file?!? You've got more patience than I do! I wouldn't have paid the $33.00 to the locksmith, but I probably would have invested in a bigger file! ;-)

    I always wondered if a cool American style custom could be built from a potato shaped European car. Oui! Great job. ESPECIALLY with such meager tools... under a friggin' sun umbrella no less. Ha! You've got a good eye my man.

    I've read the whole thread, simply amazing what you're done with what you have....I don't know how you earn a living buti think you missed your calling...,.. Your talent, determination, and sense of humor are inspiration to me and I'm sure many hambers.... I guess I'm out of excuses and have to get in the garage and finish up my wife's car..... Building your own ride is the best way to go....when all the people are looking at you go by the feeling you get is awesome..... That's pride! Merry Christmas and Happy new year
