[V8] High Beams

[Greg Furstenwerth]

I will be calling Rod then it seems :) I ordered some parts from them
before actually a few times. Thanks for the tip I was considering
calling them and seeing if they had the parts I needed. One problem that
I was concerned about as I spoke with Rod yesterday I think it was
anyway he said that alot of the parts on the V8 were only made for the
V8 and makes them hard to get. I am glad to know that he can get them
though. Thank you very much.
