It would be more impressive if he were to do something to help Silverado get to production. We haven't even heard of this man since he was installed on the "advisory board". Is he only offering advise, or is he participating in other matters eg. financing? In my past experience, when an outsider is brought in for their "expertise", it is wise to utilize it as much as possible, and in the process possibly learn something too! Sure would be nice to hear what he is contributing, and where are the additional "advisory board" member (s) they said they were going to add? The more the better, as these are unpaid positions aren't they? I'll bet right now Mr. Hooper is nowhere near the Nolan with those -60 degree temps.
