Wayne, that looks like hell. Wait, glasses on. No, looks fine. Good stuff.

Hey, when are we going to see you again on Fchat? We know you've sold your car but you need somethin else with a horse on the badge to keep you honest (not a mustang either)

Have you looked at a PORSCHE badge int the last 40 years ... it has a horse

Indeed it does. Apologies as my vernacular must have gone misunderstood. To state my intentions more obviously, he needs another car with a horse badge.

interesting fact about that,

Stuttgart's name derives from Stutengarten, an ancient form of the German word Gestüt, which translates into English as stud farm and into Italian as scuderia. The Porsche relation is obvious, the Ferrari relation comes from the fact that the early cars were stored in racing horse barns. The horse its self comes from a WW1 plane of the son of a woman Enzo met at a race. The graphic is common but Ferrari did not steal it from Porsche as some have speculated. And Porsche sure didnt steal it as that has been the coat of arms of Stuttgart since the 1300's. It is interesting that both companies use a horse logo, and I always liked the fact that it shows the history of racing cars and there original storage in horse barns which was a common thing around the dawn of auto racing.

Regards
Dave

Wow Wayne you gave me some good ideas my wife is gonna kill me I have a complete 2.7 L motor (seems nobody wants 2.7 parts anymore) and when I get done with my next project I will have a complete front clip from my car so I will do what you did with my front clip and use the H-1 headlights I have to light up my work bench and the 2.7 I think I will clean up and polish it best I can and clear coat and then use it to make a base for a coffee table.
