List,
Why haven't we heard more about the chassis designer Barry Bilbie?
Look what followed me home yesterday, I decided to have an easy to use web
thread for this little cutie to help me organize thoughts and processes.
Images are key for me as I'm not as good at terminologies as all of you. I
will do a mild rotisserie on it and keep most if not all of her original
parts including running gear and under that odd red paint reveil her cherry
red. Patin plan and learning about the chassis for spring so whatever I can
find about Barry Bilbie's design let me know. I don't have room for her so
lots of pushing in & out of an occupied garage, time to lift more weights.
