mine do too, about half the time. Dr. told me I have a type of tremor that does not lead to anything worse. If I'm excited/nervous/stressed about something, didn't eat enough protein, it happens easily. Dr. also told me that a little 'imbibing' can help. Hasn't worked yet, but I'll keep trying!

I support your right to your opinion.

Send me the money and I'll finish it to your taste.

Having had discussions with you regarding the work you put into that display which continues into the interior, I can only admire what it took to accomplish the final result.
One thing I never realized that, by outlined the corvette lettering on the FRC's, they take on a vintage look. Great job as always Rick!

LOL to finish it to my tastes you would have SAVED money. I was being a bit tongue in cheek when I wrote that. Between the engine bay and interior it is way too gaudy for my tastes.
