First show was last January 09 New Mexico Super Nationals.
Won first place in the Rat Rod/Under Construction???? class. It's done!


I was parked next to 2 friends. One has a 65 Mustang and the other a 70Hemi Challenger. They aren't talking to me anymore since I got way more attention than theirs!!
