Andrew,

ROFLMAO!

But, a thought did flash through my mind that I might start  
practicing on your email texts!

Take care,

Chuck

PS - On your "loser's trophy" comment - How many in your class?  What  
was your competition? Keep in mind that Bob Platz is a "professional  
restorer and own of Precision Autoworks.   If you had been willing to  
pay him to restore the Cab, you could have/would have won, but at  
what cost?  IMHO, if you come in third behind two professionally  
restored cars - YOU WIN!  In concours competition, there is NO level  
playing field!  That is, until you get to Pebble Beach, Amelia  
Island, etc.....
