I'll be taking it home but not tomorrow.... we leave this place on Saturday and plan to head down to the Keys for a day or two then head back up to Palm Beach area to check out Jimmy at PBIR for a couple of days.... during that couple of days I'll run up to Cocoa and pick up my hood and just leave it in the hotel room till we head for home after the PBIR event Oh yea... they called and said it was done... well they didnt call I called them... but its done and they tried to call but they wrote down the # wrong but its done

The GF & I where down that way a couple of years ago. Did the tour & saw the shuttle in its hanger? Didn't see it launce, but they told us they where launghing a rocket so went went for that. 2 mis attemps & finally it went. They told us about a public park & down at the end was a point where a canal was. Said it was free & pretty close. It was spectacular. Happend quick. Have the camera ready. Was about 500 people there. Many from other countries. It was fun.

SOME are almost as heavy as the steel I went and looked at it yesterday... looked good and it wasnt bad on weight.... we talked a bit on some of the other parts he has for a Rampage but I dont think its anything I need.... I also decided to just have it shipped so I dont have to worry about going through any storms and having a soggy box falling apart on the roof of the Jeep

They make the stuff there... the shop was 4000+ sqft easy.... plenty of molds but things are slow so he only has a few people working We rented a house for the month but when we head to the Keys we will rent a hotel room for 1 night then we stay at a hotel for a couple of days on the way home
