Message	I am sure T0m will offer powdercoating on the mild steel versions, that is just common sense. Having met Tom in person and seen lots of pics of his work, I personally would feel better about trusting my money with the person who is doing the work, instead of a middle man who has no control over the production timeline or quality. /$.02 Rule #1 - There's always a bastard! JRH(KY): for some reason, when I hear the word 'tranny' I think of transvestite before I do transmission. don't ask me why boileralum: FAGMO! ----------------------------------------- Bill (ImTheDevil): blah blah blah me: Just because you are covered in gasoline right now, doesn't mean you are right! ----------------------------------------- JRH (KY): I'm also using up a weekend this month for Indy and a weekend next month for the USGP. Throw in our trip to PA and GF is getting tired of my car habit. Boy I'm going to miss her :-D
