I know I retained my man joe that works with me to do that this next week and we will paint it next firday , the only problem with him is he is so dammned good. he had the big buck gold 55 a few weeks ago at scottsdale. anyway hard to get him to overlook any thing and on a race car it really doesent have to be perfect haha.it is exciting to do one for yourself ocasionally even if its just a old time racer...

And here I was just thinking the opposite. I would like to be there to put some bondo on and start cutting it down with some 40 grit on a long board. Save some for me Sam

.

Sam it looks good. Looks more and more like I'll be there the 1st of Feb., but will probably have time to stop on the way home 2-3 weeks later.

Denise it is going to take a lot of gas and time to get to all of those places 1/4 mile at a time

.

Can't wait to see it and ride in it,

Looks like I'll be able to see it run at both the GG Indy (weather permitting of course

) and the HAMB Drags in Joplin. I'm excited.
