Oh now you make it sound so bad... Nothing a little diet, sex change and good shaving razor couldn't fix ...

But seriously, I think the reason Hiboy is getting some attention is not only because I am a girl owner (it's true, you don't see a woman owning a 32 Hiboy everyday - to say the least), but also because I am out there driving the beast 1000 miles a month and very active, going to car meets, car shows, car cruises, contributing, participating and supporting the hobby and hotrod scene of my local area.

Do I see car drag racing in my future?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm .... NOT

Although I'd be lying if I said I don't enjoy going from a full stop to flooring the gas pedal in 0.1 seconds and doing a nice burnout... And I'll be darn if any car can ever take off faster than me when at a red traffic light. Unless the other car is a hotrod too, that is

I don't care for top speed but I am a sucker for launch. And would love to tweak Hiboy to make him launch faster than he already is... Maybe in 2008, cause in 2007 I still have a LOT of basic fixing up to do, such as:

1- replacing the entire wiring
2- replacing read chocks
3- doing wheel alignment and balance
4- restoring and adding the two 1932 original louvered hood side panels I got on ebay last fall.
5- redoing the seat cause it is KILLING my back and noone wants to ride with me because of it
6- redoing the carpetting
7- getting a good flat black paint job
8- adding an electric brake booster
9- getting the progressive linkage to work
10- polishing intake manifold
11- powder coating 1941 wheels
12- restoring 1941 hubcaps
13- redoing exhaust - Cherry bombs? headers? What? hiboy sounds lovely but he's way too polite... I want him to get louder...

the list goes on and on... THEN I can add: Adding more power?
