Hey Sam it was great seeing the car in person .  This is going to be a nice one guys and I hope it also might make it to the salt.

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.
