Over about a seven year run---Vince had several different shops do the actual
machining-- the last one being Mark at EMSport.
I know the guy. Been to his house. Met the wife and kids. Also bought what
was arguably the last assembled Option-6 ever.
Like Darrell Vittone of Techtonics, Vince is a second generation VW
innovator-- his Dad was big on the aircooled scene and at one time produced a (now
highly sought after) upright cooling shroud for Type4 engines to Type1
transplants.
Vince was the one that ORIGINALLY designed the Option-6.
