130" wheelbase.... Think I have the Front ends going on as we speak...
That would be the Thrill of building a one off car... the fact that you had
to manufacture each of the pieces... What I am doing is really Pretty
Normal stuff.... I don't have to be very smart... all I have to do is open

don't mention this to my Wife if you happen to meet Miss Kathy at Speed
week.... I do carry a GUN...( well not really but it makes better
reading)....
Man I tell ya.... there are a couple of sounds that I long to have singing
in my ear.... Doug's Ardun.... Al Teagues 76.... and the D Motor at fever
Pitch... Hell I might even Pay attention to Darrel's Pass.... Just to hear
a Rat Motor.
Keith ( so why am I at work with NO PARTS and NO UPS MAN? )
