Dale, add Index :: Kit c e n t r a l :: Lamborghini Diablo And Other Kit Car Builder's Support Group to your list, also. Lots of good info there for Countach and Diablo builders.

it sounds nothing like a Lamborghini ....it sounds like a GT40...unsurprising given it has a Boss 351 engine in it and a bundle of snakes exhaust!
