    That thing just keeps geting better as you near the finish line. Can't wait for the utube of it kicking up some dirt on an oval or back lot.

    That is about the cutest little thing I've ever seen. I hope you don't hear that often. I really like the Cordoba wheels, I've been eyeballing a set of them, now I need to run over there and get em before they become the next big thing. That is a spectacular little rod, the exposed carbs really makes it work. That is so neat. Great job.

    I like the back a lot...

    Still not quite feeling the side and front though...

    I think it needs a belly-pan and a drop-axle...

    I don't want that to sound too critical. I like it.. I just think it needs some refining. ;)

    That's about the cutest little thing I've seen in a long time..:D Sorry, couldn't pass that up. Let me throw something on the table here. Considering the current state of affairs here in the US, do you think a guy could make a car like this, or similiar, and actually sell it? Just think what kind of possibilities that would open up. May sound kinda odd right now but that's how the car businesses got started...a guy, or couple guys, start this in a garage and turn it into a big business. Not really a bad idea when you think about it but, I'm sure the government would squash it. Then again....:rolleyes:

    Dick, It was nice visiting with you about the color combo on your car at the World of Wheels. The new pictures are awesome. It's nice to have a machinist for a friend. My nephew helped me out a couple times while we were building the 34. Gary P.S. I like the new additions also.
