Yeah Pops, you're just another Norm Grabowski, settin' trends. Next will be a TV show with a parking lot attendant driving your ol' car. Although they won't be askin' YOU to borrow a comb.......................

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

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

I called them and they suggested I talk to the head of their complaint department U Ben Haad retired. There is a new lady in charge ,I think her name is Helen Waite.............they said "go to Helen Waite ", or something like that.
Seriously, I did think it was funny when I saw it. There are so many similarities, they even mounted a Flaming River Corvair type steering box up on a high pedestal, like mine. If I knew this one was coming in 2011 I would have just waited and saved a whole lot of fabricating and designing!
And Bob, for you information, I DO have a comb...........only it has less teeth than the normal ones.

Don they are calling their version Project 4.999K. I like the color they chose for the rear wheels, reminds me of something!

Yeah, they couldn't build theirs for $ 3K either, Steve!! I can't complain too much, I used some earlier cars for ideas when I built this one, like Cotton Worksman (I think that is his correct last name) who build a T like this back in the 70's. But I still think they should name this one "Tribute to Don's T"...........I like the sound of that one.

I have always admired your car, I think I have told you that many times. When you hit the mark, like you did, It doesn't surprise me at the least. Imitation Is The Highest Form Of Flattery........I'm not so sure of that sometimes
