Spit6 / CGT6 Project

  The Checklist!
     ...just what is it I'm going to use?
czone.gif (3321 bytes) Please forgive us....  we're almost ready,
    but this area is still under construction.
....data still being collected and updated....
     Well here's my check list todate. It shows the items I need to spend some time on for this to work. It shows what parts I'm using from what cars, and what I believe I'll have to do to the parts for everything to work.

... it's just a simple guide line for me to track what my original plans were. They always seem to get scrambled due to other unforeseen events. Hopefully mapping them here, will keep me focused. You can use this chart for your template of what to work on, on your creation.

    Once again...this is just what I AM.. doing, and not a bible on how YOU should do it!
