Hey, Jere!
Yeah, Smitty did the conversion, I held the wrenches (and wrote the
checks--grin).
I saw the car at Tigers United in 2005, after she'd Get Smarte'd it--it
looked really good! Didn't have the rocket launcher at the time, though.
Sue did a really nice job of making the car look snazzy--and it's the
V-6 that was the 'sound-'o-the-Tiger in the recent Get Smart movie--go
figure!
Best Regards
David (still lurking about)
