Fabian I have been wondering for a while what you mean with this word, so I looked it up but still have no idea...
this was the explanation I got on the www:
1.    effervescing; bubbling.
2.    vivacious; gay; lively; sparkling.

 Huh Shocked Cheesy

Well, quite difficult to explain, but in French it's quite funny. It's a friend that always make pun who has said that when he saw Fab's engine and ask what kind of thing it was.  Cheesy

I haven't had a lot of time to spend on my own '67, due to numerous other things going on in my life for the past year or so. But, I did finally get my glove box back from Jeff Davis. I never liked using an old clapped out glove box liner, or heaven forbid using one of those tacky black plastic ones. So, I had a new one fabricated out of aluminum, and had it TIG welded. Looks awesome mounted in the dash. But, you will only enjoy it when you open the glove box door!

You need to get that polished for when you open the hood. Maybe some chrome glove box door hinges with lightening holes. That is really sweet.
