| My class of automotive students and I are doing this thing. We're just getting started and really taking it down to the bones. Can anyone out there help me figure out how to get a title for this thing? E-mail me at dguthrie@charter.net Update: Waiting to see about results from International Title service out of Las Vegas. Will let you know if it's a scam or if it's for real. Either way I'm currently down $130.00. | |||||
