Since the discussion on this page appears to be about anything, you say the title of your web site means "Which means "Evil Twin" ". Does it really mean "identical Twins"?

I do get distracted......sorry for that.
I do not speak a word of Italian but google says:
"What is an Italian twin?
The word for a twins in Italian is gemelli (masculine, singular: gemello; feminine, singular: gemella)"
Way back I ask an actual Italian, who told me "evil twin" doesn't really mean anything in Italian, that is not an expression they use but5 the correct way to say it would be gemello cattivo or "bad twin" but they have about 12 words for bad and this one is the cloestest to English evil in this context. Twin though, like in English doesn't necessarily mean identical twin so you'd have to say "gemelli identici" to have identical twins I guess. Cars are usually "she" so maybe I should have picked "gemella" for the badge? don't know... just thought it was funny and at a glace looks the say as the OEM "quattrovalvole".
I guess in a way its double funny because the reason I gave to justify the TR head swap was it would be wrong to put a 2V engine in the car with a quattrovalvole badge.....then I replaced the badge anyway.
Also in usual mke form the new surround sound system didn't even make it to the install without modification. This deal popped up

so that meant I also needed the matching center speaker.

....so I've now spent more on upgrades than I did on the whole system to start with. This also changes how the front cabinet needs to be done so that work is stopped while a new design awaits approval. It turns out is easy to make something that looks like a theater, its much harder to make something that
IS a theater....compromises everywhere on this thing.
Last, the durarock90 is set this morning, but obviously still wet. I was still soft enough that I could removal anything with a scraper the next coat might not cover and as Kevin said didn't shrink which is nice. I'm basically out of materials to keep anything moving....today will be pick up and organize the storage room i guess.
