Maybe you should start a thread about this in the EVENTS forum, under Lone Star Roundup. Some great threads going on over there.

We worked 36 straight hours the other day. Also want to thank everyone that has help by stopping by and lending a hand, Sus pulled the bottle off his welder when we ran out of gas, Mike cook for making are parts store trips a breeze, Goffer for supping the heat on those late nights ,Steve for buffing the big show my brother Terry, Jim for the brake pedal ***embly ,and my wife Bonnie for being so understanding. Guys this is what its about . Friends helping friends be cool and see you there jerry
