Hi Carl

What color Vistalights are you working on?

I was meaning to ask you how you like Driving the 383 with the Edelbrock heads. Are you still running that combo?

yes sir i do like the combo and w/ the beefed up 700 r-4 and 373 gears she comes outta the hole like a scalded dog,, the vistilates are real deal 70' bonham kit in amber 26 '' bass,,same as the song remains the same video,,not a re-issue set real chicago 1970's ludwigs every t handle is correct rodgers hio hat paiste gong from switerland is on the boat to paiste of america as i returned it twice they forgot the chinese letters,,the 1400 ludwig stand for the gold tone cowbell,, the ralph keser ching a ring the 15 ''sound edger hi gats 24 '' ride 18--16--20 crash all paiste.. 2 tympanis are the onlt thing not 100% accurate as i wanted symphonic tymps there a 29 and a 28 and i also have a 1920-1930 mechanical i use on my 1979 octaplus,,, the bonham sizes are a big item for us baby boomers that couldnt afford them back in the day
