    Very cool. Some people might view all this attention as the traditional scene being bought out, but I just see it as taste returning to the mainstream. Congratulations.

    Larry, I think the only thing you're missing is when the supermodel came out and handed you the check for a cool million.

    Congratulations, and it doesn't surprise me one bit that you and your car gained every bit of recognition it deserves. You have one beautiful ride, and I drool each time I see it. Keep up the great work!

    OUCH!

    I hate it when that happens! Parts always wanting to do their own thing instead of what I want'em to do.

    I saw you drive buy once at Goodguys but when I made the connection you were already gone. I was hoping to meet you. I met so many great people this weekend I can't even remember all of them. Congrats on the recognition. I'd hate to see you sell that car but I know you'd just take the money and build something equally cool and I've got no problem with that!

    Congratulations Larry.

    The R&C spread, TRJ (If it happens), & the whole experience is priceless.

    If you sell I'll trade you a black Ford emblem for the grille shell. We can't have that HAMB emblem out there on just any 'chainer's car.

    Sounds cool Larry! Well deserved.

    But why did the motor mount fail?

    It failed because it was a stock type mount...it wasn't meant to take the abuse I gave it.

    How much you wanna bet that some real heavy-duty parts are goin' back in?...:D

  13. I guess the bow you took when you got out of the car was a sign of things to come. I was in the stands when it broke, felt really bad for you since it was my favorite of the the cars in the running. Sounds like things worked out ok anyway!

    I'm so happy for ya bud! Well deserved for sure.

    If I was there I would have helped PUSH it down the 1/4 mile thus hoping they would have counted that as the car crossing.:D

    Can't wait to see it run at the HAMB Drags.:cool:
