There's a Very Good Mexican Buffet around the corner from the show where we go to eat. We'll take you with us if you would like. Excellent food. It taste home made....Looking forward to seeing you Bruce....

Thanks for the comps GREG. Are you looking at going to any shows this year? The Mt Vernon show is at the end of this month. Good show. The people are really nice and fun to be around. It's a bit of a trek for you but...it's a darn good time....

Gary, this is looking great. Will it be at the Portland Roadster Show this year? If so I can't wait to see this in person.

Thanks Mike...Not sure if I'll bring it...we'll have to wait and see....
Well folks....Here's an update on the chassis. The Racing harness was fabbed along with the two head nets(window nets) and added. Getting that accomplished was the key to finishing the chassis. Now...the firewall/engine can be mounted and the rest of the body panels will go on. Hope fully that will be done this week...Thanks for looking in folks....

Well..get the PUSH Truck...This car is finished. I will post a few finished engine pics with the wing and then without. The pics without the wing really bring back some great memories and also makes me want to build a 70's wingless car. Kinda along the GRANT KING style of car. Thanks for looking in on this build folks.
The finished engine...
With the WING...
