    Brad, won't have it ready for Turkey Run, but if you come to Billetproof in April it should be there. That is our new target date.

    There ya go Steve, that's similar to what I was trying to describe. Any chance you have a straight on side shot of that?

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    No, Kurt, the steering box has been installed during mockup, but never since the car has been painted. In fact, we are going to have to winch it up onto the trailer when we take it to the upholstery guy Friday, as the driveshaft is still out and there is no wiring in the car yet. Lots of loose ends to tie down before it is a runner.
