Is it from the CA desert area somewhere? Open rear drive
conversion?  Silver, red interior? If so it's someone I met when I
first moved down here in 1996. Can't recall his name.

I remember this because he was having problems with the modified
traction bars used to locate the rear, were cracking. I realized
the next day what the problem was (torsional rotation: the
bushings used only allowed for rear up-and-down motion, not one
wheel lifting.) Easy fix. Couldn't contact him to tell.

Remind me never to talk to you again.
