Vanaru, Hans and John have worked hard over the years to get what i would
call a near perfect conversion... now, it as to pay!!! i'm sure everyone
understand that. So if i put everything online, the way i do (details
pictures), thay will loose potential cutomers. BUT, they have a
Do-it-Yourself "kit" comming out soon, now, this is different. This COMPLETE
kit will be WAY more afortable and will include everything except the engine
and i think a few parts from the donor car.

In that case,a video/web section/book could be available. I would be glad to
help.

I have learn one thing with my web site ( and you don't see a lot of stuff
only in the french section), by putting FREE stuff online, you gain way more
customers than you loose. You also gain recpect! and they know you can do
the job.

EX:
http://www.benplace.com/fuel_line.htm

This section itself bring me a lot of customers (and some nice "Tank you"
e-mail from people that did the job themself) that have seen the "how to do
it", they understand why to do so, they believe it's important to do it but
some just don't have the skills to do it... but one thing is for sure, it's
always good for me! Even if i loose a few, i gain 10 time more then if i had
NO such section.

The English side of it... it's for you guys! and with that, i got new
friends! and that is way more important than money!

Regards, Ben

You said you weren't going to post in detail the installation, but enough to
get the picture. Don't know if you have thought of this before, but I would
be willing to bet there are a lot of guys, myself included, who would be
willing to pay money for a well documented conversion installation CD. Food
for thought, maybe?? Since you are doing the work anyway, now may be the
time.
