You know that there is a local corona with a rotary in it? They might be able to help you out. Either way you are right a corona always makes me smile.



Good luck with the project.

I didnt know anybody around the NW has done this, could only find a few and most were in austrailia. Does this guy come to this board?



And yes, Coronas are good. The cars are pretty cool too...
