Kelvin,

You know that I am going to ask you to make me one of your custom dash cut
outs when I get moved to Oregon. By the way, how is the "the secret
whatever you were going to do to your coach" coming along?? When will you
announce it??

I really don't like the "gauge warts" that stick up on top of the
(fragile!) dash, and mounting them under the dash puts 'em where you
generally won't be looking at them very often.
