Just saw some of the devestation and flooding that Hurrican Dennis caused to the Gulf States and particularly, Atlanta. Hope all of our listers/friends in that area are O.K., and their Shelbys and Mustangs as well, cause as far as I know, Shelby did not build an Amphicar. Maybe get in touch with the list and let us know you are O.K.? Now for batteries. Have been trying to buy a sealed Autolite battery from NPD for a couple of months and they have been on backorder. Phoned yesterday and learned they ain't coming at all - New Castle Battery has gone belly up. Ouch! Any other suppliers that anyone knows of or are we back to the old dry charge style Autolite or a plain jane black job with an Autolite cover? Any tips on where to purchase a sealed Autolite would be appreciated. Ron
