WOW! NICE WORK MAN! Thats gonna be SWEET when you get done with it!

I have a question for either you or Sir English.

When you're working on US cars, do you measure in feet and inches, or do you work Metric? I ask this, because while the metric system IS more accurate and lends itself to smaller incriments, the car was originally built and laid out with feet and inches.

I was just wondering that.

I really like the look of the '76 in Firethorn red.  My 2nd bird was a this color combo.  Sold it back in 2004 because I lost my job.  Had 20k miles on it!!!!  Sold it way too low too but had to dump it.  Really wish I still had that car.  Had virtually no options which held true to the hand signed order form I had for it too.  I always wondered where the car is now.  Sold it to a collector in Oregon if I can remember back that far.

Why not just go into thousandths of inches?
