Another thing pushing me is the guy that painted this thing in 99 or so, is putting together a thing for the Goodguys Gazette. He works for Goodguys and the story he is writing up is about how their are still good people in the world and most of them drive street rods. He is writing the story based on the Firebird we restored last year and when him and a bunch of guys did the 40. He said there is a huge possibility the 40 would be needed to be on display at Goodguys Des Moines this year. He asked if it was together enough to resemble a 40 Ford. I laughed and told him yes but we'd have to tow it. So if that actually happens it would be cool to drive it at the show. This is another reason I'm trying to make it look like it did 30 years ago.
