Hey Bro..........I thought you were keeping it stock. I guess I will take credit for changing that...huh. Just like back home, we don't go half-*** on anything. You have created one hell of a rod, and oh yeah when do I get to drive her again? I am looking forward to lining them up.....and yes I will make sure the bottle is full and juiced. Probably wax my *** anywho.

thanks Bro...my car will never hold a candle to yours on the bling meter...3 time best in class at WOW oh yea, than there's that 500+ RWHP and over 600 RWTQ you have...hell no I don't want to race you.

Let's drive our cars down to the old home town of Eureka, KS and drag main street all day

BTW, we really need to give the Hot Rod fever credit to the eldest brother Rick...

Our other brother Rick used to be a car guy until the one summer night in 1974 when at 16 years of age he out ran every highway patrol in 3 countys in Kansas in his beautiful metalic blue 1969 Chevelle SS 396 (slightly modified ). Ran road blocks, got shot at, and finally ran out of gas at the 7 mile junction. Oh, that was a proud night for dad wasn't it...

Subsequent to that day, when it was our time to buy a car, Dad made us buy Vega's ...and that's why these two old farts love to hod rod today

Do we have to give "Rick the Trick" the credit though? I know he ain't on here (he now lives in a cabin in the boonies), so he won't beat the **** out of us...right? BTW, my Vega freakin' rocked with the Hurst shifter and opened up air breather.....hell it sounded better than these ricers now days. Hey Bro, one more thing, I don't even think you know............I "borrowed" that awesome ride one day and ran the **** out of it.... please don't tell on me.
