    Dick, thanks for opening your garage last night. Hope you have a great weekend in Austin. Can't wait to see some pictures from the show. Great job on the car....time to kick back and let it soak in. Gary

    Dick, just now catching up to this. Its beautiful, it reminds me of a full scale tether car! I mentioned way back at the beginning about how I liked the Chevy hood emblem on the front. Black paint really makes you look at the lines. I love it.:D SUCCESS!

    xderelict, the S. Omaha visionary has proven to one and all, Yes you can polish a turd, and wished it was in your garage at night.

    As many others have said here about Dick's vision, plus his making his vision come to life, Yep..you did good Dick...You did very good.

    Knock'm dead down there in Austin this week-end.

    Best wishes

    It was good to see the other members of the S. Omaha turds last night, as well as those from the Omaha Roadburners

    All I can say is wow.
    Just went through the history and you really turned to on this thing.
    Amazing what deadlines do to 4 year builds!


    TP

    I could imagine making a mold of this thing,
    and then repopping them for a one-design 6-banger circle-track "hoodlum" class.

    Great looking ride Dick.

    I can really appreciate the artistic vision that you started with and carried through the project.

    It certainly shows!

    Pulled the motor and put in a new rear main seal. Took the front suspension apart and had it powder coated. Sololobo stepped up big with his many connections. Thanks Larry.
