Okay, now I want an autograph. If you don't have a photo to sign, a blank check will suffice.

[Snicklefritz]

Lee, I didn’t have a picture so your blank check is in the mail. Spanky, Dotty does have a sister but she is a real loonie toon gal! Sorry.

I think this thread needs another bump !!! @LongJohn ( ORF ) has been very sick this past week.
I know it will cheer him up if he gets some comments.

Go up to the first post and read!

Quite the ride!
Here's hoping for a return to good health!

 

[Spanky]

His current project is shaping up to be a killer ride . . .

 

[RodStRace]

Judging from that, he's not slowing down in old age!

Wow, that has a top fuel dragster look to it.
@LongJohn you need to get better, I am looking forward to seeing that car get finished.

Rick buddy you always find a way to motivate me! I have been puny since Thanksgiving! Having real problems with neuropathy and balance so I'm finally getting over that and the flue bites me in the butt! My grandson took the car to his garage 2 weeks ago so he can help me get it going. It's so close to really looking like a car now. All I need to do is mount the rear suspension. I have all the stuff just need to tack it in and i will be ready to blow it apart for final welding. Only engineering i need is mounting my radiator and water lines and brake lines. Thanks for the concern and motivation. I hate it when my get up a go has got up and went!

John has told me that he could get on the highway entrance ramp and be side-by-side with the other car and they would not get a heard of his front end from a standing start. Ok, I might be exaggerating slightly, I'm sure ORF will set me straight !!!

Well he did have a Pete Robinison blower, Pretty much like the one he has now on the BBC 454 setting his chassis.

Hey John you should get to bed..... you need your ugly sleep. Wow, I wish you lived next door, oh the things we could do other than get in trouble !!!!!!!!!
