Good question Daniel cause we've been busting our butts and are now in a delima on how many shirts to order. Mike aka Slide has worked up some killer artwork for our t-shirts and posters.
I am. I've been trying to order a rear end housing to get the coupe put back together, finally. I'm putting 3.50 gears in it, so I will be slowing down a little bit. With all of the work you've done, we should be a pretty close race! Should be cool running 1/8 mile for a change of pace. More will be decided off the starting line and with the 1-2 shift.
OH HELL YES - I still have rubber left on the right side........ LOL http://youtube.com/watch?v=v_qgCXC85zM
I should be there. I am planning on putting the motor back in the Fly if it would ever get above 20 degrees.
hey Root, many say i'm ful of a crap load of hot air, so if needed i can come up and start talk shit ...that ought to at least least warm your shop area ...hehehehhe
Yall definitely have been working hard. This is really shaping up to be a really cool event! And thanks for the kind words on the shirts.
Probably not, $$ tight right now with trying to finish up Big Olds before the 2nd weekend in March. (the little stuff just adds UP) .....but watch out this spring, no more $$ being spent on Big Olds just on having FUN with him! I just want to make sure that if the person that wins the Texas Thaw cookie auction FEELS like sharing, there is enough to go around.
Hey folks, the proceeds from this event, and the proceeds we get from this cookie auction, are going to the troops, overseas. Those guys need stuff like you wouldn't believe. Those are some very special folks over there, so bring some 'Cookie Money' with ya, on the 23rd. Thanks -
Big Ken, I just dropped a little sponser money in the mail this morning. I cant wait for this, it will be cool! Tim @ www.irrationalmetalworks.com
Tim, can't thank you enough. And your shop is killer, BTW. Thanks for being part of the crawl, last week. I was thinking about offering to be your floor sweeper, or something like that, but by the looks of the place, you gotta good one already. Thanks again, man............
Laura & I plan on being there but not in the coupe. I've been hard at it re-doing the top wood, building a new floor, building a roll bar & various other things. See ya'll there.
