Steve, It is a very nice paint job, thanks!

Reckless, myself or Tom will be doing the driving chores.

Kyle, we will be at Thunder with this car. We were running a little behind but, now seem to be caught up and moving on getting this car done.

Thanks,

Kyle,
We are going to start off with the ATI turbo 350, but I do have the power glide ready to go. Hoping to hit the engine dyno in a week or so. I will post numbers as soon as I get them.

Thanks

Should be ready by then. We are going to try!

If not drive down to LA and support the race so we can have a better turn out.

Thanks,

Tom and myself are chick magnets to the extreme! I don't know what you are talking about, Todd.

Thanks for the support!
