...... I'd have him send you the fuse directly to avoid the double or triple shipping.

David,

As long as Don doesn't mind the engine hole and the slot for the header that is already cut in the fuse, I would be more than happy to send anything I have to him to help him produce the kit again. Just let me know how you want me to proceed. I know I owe you ALLOT of pictures, but like you, my life's been crazy all summer. Send me an email when things have calmed down on your end and we will pick up where we left off.

David.
Hi David,

thanks for posting on this. I'll drop you an email later on today or tomorrow at the latest. We have to sort some logistics (and finances first of course).

Based on the last post, I'd say that Don would be better off with Jquid's fuse which he's already working on sending. His fuse is of a more recent vintage, lacking the side and top/bottom glass strips and therefore, lighter. The belly pan is something to keep in mind though. If Don is interested and willing to producing a pair of Illusion pans, then jquid's pan which is flush and lacks the pipe tunnel would be best suited for an electric version of the model or one with a RE engine with pipe running along side the fuse. The pan with the tunnel built into it, would be better suited for a classic Dave Brown setup with the pipe tucked into the fuse.

Don, I don't know what you think of this but it might be worth producing both pans, or, if someone doesn't want the tunnel, they could simply glass over a pan with tunnel in it. What do you think?

For what its worth, I'm glad "my" pan has the tunnel in it. I want to build it per Dave Brown layout.
