These men (Travis, Bryan and Dennis and Kenny too) are just down right nice guys in addition to being masters at what they do. I hope to post some photos soon of the exhaust system they designed for the MKIIIX, VW conversion I am building. WOW! I want to publically thank them for all they do. I was also able to transport Phil H.'s cage and engine back here to Chattanooga for him. We were able to load his FF cage into and on top of my MKIIIX cage. As Bryan said before I left KY it probably turned some heads on the 3 hour trip down through Knoxville. According to Phil we now have four Kolbers in this area. Thanks for the information on the list.
