Great stuff, guys.

Jeff, that's a perfect idea. I thought of making both decks and doors electric. It's easy enough but I love the fact that my little old fashioned Pantera keys fit in my shorts or shirt pocket and lie flat. I hate lugging around those big lumpy remotes. And I can almost feel the frustration as electrical gremlins lock me out of my engine bay just as I am about to impress some drooling kid. However, I might reconsider when I get further along.

Geroge, that is the only thing missing and it's killing me! I wanted to put a cup holder into the armrest, but all those nasty relays took up whatever space was left. I might try a pull-out tray type (from some rice rocket) hidden in the dash somewhere. That way it will spill on my wife. Any other ideas for cup holders? Sheesh my SUV has 8!

Hey Panther, I love your ride. Aside from Lazlo's amazing monsters, your car has one of the best fitting wheel bodywork combos I've seen. I can’t believe you don’t rub! And that color is beautiful. Anyhow, if we were afraid to modify these cars we might as well own those funny Italian cars with horses and bulls.

DeTom, no need for smoke screens and oil slicks. My hot rod motor with its chrome moly rings that never seat takes care of that just fine. All I need is a bottle of degreaser and a rag after long runs. I'll probably have to stop every hour anyhow, just to clean the oil off my rear camera lens.
