    The "little Bugger" is damn quick on the street..Too much for the sand..I disconnected one of the carbs just to get it down the track!

    It was a fitting name for the car..Thanks for that! People loved it!
    Thanks!

    You ARE a legend Ray!Love you too Bro!

    Another binge read, and another (3rd time in 2 days) build that has me convinced to sell everything in my shop and find some new hobby, maybe fly tying...
