Enjoyed meeting you and seeing your car at Wichita Saturday evening.
Kurt is a real artist with a welder. Some nice design ideas, too.
Bring it back. We'll grease the walls for you...........

Hey John I'd be more than happy to come and get old blue out your way. My shop has been a little empty since I sold the camaro.

Next I need to get it ready for body work / paint. I've got to get the dzus mounts made for the deck lid, hood, front end mounts, and cap the air box sides of the firewall. Probably ought to do some painting on the cage too before it starts to rust.
