Talk about overengineering....I love it.
If I stop by your place can I get the nickel tour? I'm dying to see that Ferrari Daytona.

What?!?!

That's sweet! Is that a 925 battery? I'm using the same but I have it on its side in the driver's side battery box.
I see you are in Madison. My dad's family lived there on Keep St for 40+ years. I've been there many, many times. Beautiful town. Oh, and I saw that tree that G Washington slept under.

Why are the uprights more slender in the middle than the ends? Was this for weight savings or does it make the part stronger?
NOTE: Driver has less than zero mechanical engineering knowledge.
