    Ya think you might have hit it right on the head Ron? John Morton drove my car at willow a few years back. I was sent to the airport to pick him up on friday. He was standing at the curb when I pulled up. He comes over and says nice paint. I asked him if he wanted to drive it back to the track. Sure he said so off we go. After we were back at the track for a while I asked him if he would take me for a ride. Man I had no idea my car was that fast.

    Wow I've seen this car many times. It looks good with the hood closed. But any engine swap kinda takes all the fun out of it for me. My car has the bre paint but with my own twist. Is that bad? And as far as that trophy. That is a small show. and I think there were only a couple of mod 240's
  8. Rich, Wow I had no idea how much work you put into that. Looks very nice. Can you send your son over to my shop. I have a new motor sitting on a stand. But I need to clean the bay a little before I put it back in.
