Hey Pedro
I was just thinking about you yesterday, and was wondering about the
delimma of that fan switch. Glad you found someway for it to work. I had
been thinking about putting it around the exhaust(its hot there), and then
thought that it would get too hot and MELT. How's the OIL FILTERING SYSTEM
working? Is your white dash still holding together--I offer a 1 year
warranty for most people when I work on their vehicles--BUT for you, my
spanish friend, it's a lifetime warranty on anything. Now that the weather's
getting better, we need to find other people and have a Colorado Meeting.
Anytime that you would like to gettogether just say so.
