Patrick, you would love every car he has built. Last time I was in his shop, he was building a 33 Plymouth pickup(suicide doors) with a 5.0. He built a T bucket back in the late 80s and took it on a car show tour as one of the featured cars in shows. It was called the Freebird. Got to ride in it once. Also got to ride in his 65 Shelby.

He lives at Keene, about 15 or 20 minutes from my house. You would go crazy over his shop, in his back yard.

I'm getting better fuel mileage with the Airaid MIT tube as compared to the stock intake tubing.

That is a color change! Amazing.


I talked to the guy that bought the 2 Vettes this afternoon. He was in Madisonville picking up the second one. Turns out, it's a vintage drag car and he has been offered 3 times what he paid for both of them for just the race car. This was from some Vette group. The car supposedly ran a 9.4 at some time in it's career.

Hey Ian

So far silverstars, clear signals, MY LT Handle covers, new mirrors waiting to be worked on, valence painted soon and hopefully wheels. Wheels are a big if. I am getting some new detailing supplies so I can make money on the side as I used to. My CDL is tomorrow so I hope I pass
