Dream Rocc: Re: $15K scirocco shopping list

[haygood at myway.com (Brian Haygood)]

Heh, funny.  I've already had one lister ask me about building for/with him an ultimate rocco.  We decided it would cost right at $15k, too.  I'd love to do it, but the guy's plans changed, as they often do in this business.  I've still got the ideas if anyone has the cash, lol.
