  Yes, I remember you saying about your mate. Sounds like a talented guy.
  Is he sticking with the '74 drums on the rear or going for after market
  discs? I'd always thought if I ever actually got round to making my
  dream bus (21/23 windows+Porsche power+ball joint front end etc etc etc
  yawn got no ideas of your own son?) it would probably need some uprating 
  in the brake department to say the least :)

  Going for the bay window chassis is a very neat way of getting round
  any steering & suspension limitations that the splittie might have 
  when fitted with such a big motor.

  Look foward to seeing it around the shows; Any idea when?

  cheers
