Where is Joe Black?

Well- the front clip he's producing will be one-piece for racing - I think all the lights and cladding will be molded in fiberglass or CF - it really wouldn't be workable as a replacement for a street-running front clip. The VX he's using for the project was damaged in the front - the fenders may be usable but the grill, front bumper cover and probably the hood were all hosed.

I wouldn't mind the front raw with no cut outs,
I would mod it anyway, I have a set of porsche headlights needing a home.
It is amazing what can be done with fiberglass.

We really need to get these experienced VX'ers working on chapters for a VX book. Then their knowledge will be preserved.

"Big hunk of burning man flesh" is what I come back to?

LOL! Gotta share that with the wife!

Thanks for the thread, got me all misty...

In any case, I recently took over responsibilities for another web site and forum for collectors of vintage Caterpillar equipment which snowballed into a major "hands-on" project and has only just now become manageable. Of course the holidays and some other projects kept me away as well, since I have a good idea of how much time I've spent here compared to doing things of a more domestic nature. Many thanks to those who called or emailed, I'm always very flattered and appreciate the contact.

Thanks to some insightful advice from johnnyapollo regarding "window fix v.2" I now have yet another large shop power tool to work with. This LONG process is hopefully coming to an end so y'all won't feel so terribly teased.

This weekend I'll be in a weekend seaplane school and hope to emerge with a new rating, so won't get at it again until after then. Fortunately I'll be testing on my own VX daily which should accelerate things greatly.

Thanks again!
