nice! Keeps us updated. Off-season projects are what make boating sites great.

Nice numbers. I havent been to a PSCA race in years. I stopped going when my buddies Stickman (57 Chevy) and Greg Aliano (Duster) stopped racing

Yes, I know them quite well. My sister actually dated Stickman for years.

Yeah, just one of those dreams :thumbsup

Ya I know. We've all got them. Like me hoping the guy down the street from me will finally sell me his super clean '65 SS that I've been bugging him about. For real cheap of course. :D
