LOL, has anyone seen the dude with the fixed up AMC Gremlin (I think) with drag radials on the back driving around town? I could've sworn I smelled alcohol coming from the exhaust. It actually sounds pretty good!!

Pretty darn cheap, Shawn at PTAP is pricing me out one today but heck if I ran across a decent local used one I'd be inclined to go that route.

I can also trade out some photo work if needed.
