YOU WIN JOHN!!!! NO CONTEST. I do have a body that is useable. I am
really sorry, no one needs that kind of pressure this close to race
date. (you have just over a month.)
I did fail to mention that I am in Bend OR at present. Have been
spending two to three days about every other week for the past six
months here trying to get a property ready for sale. It is my daughter's
house that she has been in for 20 years, collecting junk. We had to buy
it out of foreclosure a couple of years ago and now want ot rid
ourselves of the extra financial burden. The good news is that
real-estate prices have increased considerably so maybe I can get
someone to paint the car for me when this deal is done. ha ha!
