    Really great to see some progress and here that your Dad is doing better. Please keep us posted on the build.:) It is funny that the chassis has the holes drilled in it. Fiat stock chassis were also drilled with holes from the factory because they were only 13 or 16 h.p. new. So they had to lighten them up as much as possible.(It's like they new Topolino's would be used as a drag cars someday)

    Sorry guys no progress. It is just sitting and getting dusty in the other building.
    I have built three customer cars and have two more on the way. I cant seem to find the time to work on my own toys. The good news is money wont be a problem when I figure out how to make time.

    Will this be the year of the Martian Invasion at the drags?
    Should we all bring tinfoil to make helmets?
