Just thought I would give you a look at a project that one of my fellow Corvette club members is undertaking here in Brisbane, Australia. The following link will take you to the project pictures.

Great pictorial and very cool model. I have a titanium plate in my cervical spine and 3 discs fused as well with a bone graft from my hip - not fun.
