I was just in Peoria 2 weeks ago, I was filling in for one of the pilots for Life Flihgt at St. Frances Hospital. They tell me I may be up there again. I'm currently building a Piet with a Subaru in it. If I get back up there I would love to stop by and meet with you and see what you have.Gary New Orleans________________________________________________________________________________
