      Wow, it was Ace?  They've been around forever.  I know the son was a douche, drove around in a white mustang convertible with a NOS tank bolted to his roll bar.  Wouldn't run me in my Turbo neon....this was back in the late 90's, don't judge, hahaha.

      They were pretty successful for awhile, I remember as a kid, they had a Tucker sitting there for reupholstering.

        Yeah they were the bees knees back in the day. I didn't know but they actually changed hands in 2002. Some guy named Duffy has owned it since then. Ace Canvas in the back still owns their part and that owner is the brother of the original Ace Auto trim owner. I was talking with him for a while yesterday trying to figure out what to do. Luckily his wife saw that the guy I was dealing with (Mickey) is now a manager at the Cousins in town. So now since he read my messages but hasn't replied, I will be stopping by Cousins after work to find out what is going on.

                        Haha well you got the racing team part! I don't mind Jameson whiskey but i'm really more partial to bourbon lol. My father in law has already started calling him Whiskey as a nick name.

                                      E-Benzin not only lacks petroleum, but also sulfur and benzene meaning it burns extremely clean. It’s also rated at 100 octane and allows higher compression ratios for engines. Not to mention an increase in efficiency

                                      http://news.boldride.com/2015/05/audi-e-benzin-synthetic-fuel/79555/

                                      Put me in the skeptics column. Chemically, there's no energy in water. It's nice that you can take water and carbon-dioxide and make hydrocarbons, but the energy still has to come from somewhere. As much as everyone likes the internal combustion engine (myself included), they're not very efficient at turning chemical energy into mechanical energy. Most of energy in the fuel goes out the tailpipe and a substantial portion is dissipated as waste heat. In the long run we'd be better off focusing our R&D efforts on solutions that have the potential to be more efficient. </soapbox>

                                          My buddy at TD Graphics in West Bend would be more than capable of doing that. I'm not too sure where your located though.
