I don’t think I or Fox meant any disrespect with our comments. We are the new kids here so you may not know where we are coming from. I’m actually interested in seeing your car in person as we are from the same area.

Your response matches my thoughts exactly and that was the design criteria in WWII. Fast and cheap, build today fight tomorrow. Your taillight/license area makes me think of a tail gunner position or better the front end of a factory built ecomod, the Citroen SM!
