Not too big??? In the past it has been 1,000 spaces & sold out. Just how big do you want it?

I had an adjustable regulator which was set too high boil a battery dry. After that it was no good-the battery case was bowed out.
Thanks, that is a quick & cheap trick. I like your cream colored June Bug, so I'm going to "ask the man who owns one" , is it reliable(within...

Your wife still keeps count? Mine gave up YEARS ago.
Congradulations, I hope you can find a good firm in the field that you wish to practice, mark.
