    As you can see your car was built by a group of guys who shared info and were well versed in building drag cars. This is just a part of what they’d done there’s way more cars they built

    What a cool, cool story. Your Aero is beautiful and a piece local history! You've done a super job on it! I've only ever seen one in the wild, nicely done w/sbc & auto. Made me scratch my head for a minute until I saw the big ole W in the grill! Thanks for sharing, and hope to see more in the future!
