I know someone in cali that has an 82 w/ that conversion, car is partially done and needs finishing. He may be in a selling mood. I think it has C4 seats, a serpentive system from an F-body, electric fans and some other goodies here and there.

80crabvette, JustForFun, and Twin Turbo,

Not sure why, but I don't seem to be getting any emails through the Forum, and I guess not all of my PM's are making it either. Please email me directly at cneubecker@hotmail.com Thanks again to you guys and everybody for all of your assistance thus far!

Craig

Still haven't got the email, hopefully it will come through soon. Nope I don't fly Robbies, but have flown Bell's (UH-1 and TH-57) Sikorsky's (UH-60 and HH-60) Agusta (MH-68) operationally, and lots of other helos from time to time, but never any Robinson's. Almost all of my time is in turbine helicopters, whereas the Robbies are piston powered.
