16vT / tranny ?

[smithma7 at gmail.com (Mike Smith)]

I'm hip to the whole fender thing.  It will be done.  But I'm really
starting to look at the car in a whole new bigger way.  To be honest,
the fender will be done once the mechanicals are all worked out.  Make
it run like it should, then make it look like it should.  Red's not
going to be seeing any time on the road in the near future so I'm not
concerned with the ugly gash I fabricated.  But trust that it will be
done and your donation is always most appreciated.  I think I can
promise that the next time Red is at Cincy, the fender will be
replaced. ("Oh no!" they cried, "we'll never see Red again!!"  Don't
worry....)
