Did you have any luck selling Joe's car at Phoenix?
Looks like I'll be back that way in Jan. and will try and stop. Thanks for the help with the roll bars for the lakester. I'd like to stop and bend a cage up for 1FATGMC. I need to have it fit really tight. I'll call sometime and talk to you about that.

thanks george, Ill keep em comin , and i have a pic of my last roadster stude pickup here for you ,race it 5 yrs , kinda miss it... sam
Man I am going to miss OGHD. I get a 30 minute lunch break at the new job so it is an impossibility to make it to the south side.
You should post pictures of the Nova...talk about a silk purse from a sow's ear. What you and Joe have done to help that ugly puppy is nothing short of remarkable. It is going to be a throw down cool, nose in the air, bad to the bone gasser when it is done. What do you think...10.90s???

After talking to Hooley if your weather is anything like his you might need to get some "studded" slicks (that can't make sense :roll: ).
Get a G-Tech and get a time in front of the house. I'm sure the neighbors would love that :twisted: .
