"Thank you Jesus"

Best part of the video man! Sure is great knowing him and all the love he shows us. Nice ride too...not a big fan of the spec sheet on the engine cover, but I guess its a good idea if you are taking your car to shows.

Peace!

I concur whole-heartedly ! Yeah, there's some things that Rick has that I personally wouldn't do (or attempt to do - ), however, it's his ride and it's obvious that he really, really loves that car... and that's what its all about !!

Thank you gentlemen,

I couldn't even begin to add the time up, but it was at least a part-time job for the last 2 years. You know...one project here, one project there, another one here, save more money, spend more, save some more, spend way to much more.

Our local dragstrip shut down last year, but it's opened up recently and I would love to roll down there. I heard it's now an 1/8th mile but have heard they will allow a 1/4 mile run. Maybe in the next few weeks I'll make a few runs just to see what it will do. I'm used to running low 10's on my bike which I did for many weekends, but think this car will do high 11's or low 12's at least(I think).



But I think the older I get the times seem to get better as I recall the runs to anyone who'll listen...maybe next year I'll remember pulling 9's. LOL! Yea, that fish was THAT BIG when I pulled him in the boat.
