We keep thinking that every one is final -- wouldn't make it otherwise. And we realize that engineering projects have a way of never being done, that there always can be improvement.

Ellis agrees the 6.2 is a significant improvement over the 5.1 that he has been running. It's very close to production. We moved some components around between the 5.1 and the 6.0, then moved them again in the 6.1, and changed a significant position for the 6.2. The 6.0 and 6.1 are C.A.D. only, they were never made. When we made the 6.2 we spent much time talking about how this car would be produced.

We now think we may have gone slightly too far and may have to come back a touch on one of the moves. We do expect to produce several more of what will be a 6.3 so more Team guys will have them for testing and set-up work. This will be done ASAP (Remember that the router is busily cutting SCX - 60CF stuff. Paul was at the shop until 10:30 tonight.) and we expect this last little bit to do it.

You'll know we think we're there when you see other Team guys with them beside Paul & Ellis.
