Hi Dennis

We have both , plus Les has marked up a set of plans . Curt Contrata is drawing them, Curt is very accurate drawing plans and is the Autocad master y1.
it will take a while before they are finished
I also have pics of my favorite the 1975 Stiletto 700. I may scan and post them too
I'll keep you informed.

Please refresh my memory as to the *date* of the Tropicaire. I have missed that somehow. ???

Sounds like a case for a rolling 35 year cut-off date..!

Post by: Bill Little on September 18, 2007, 01:15:01 PM: I *think* I like the idea of a 35 year rolling cut off better than a 25 year one!
