    I didn't get a photo of it but I will tonight if I remember, however I did reinstall the driver text. I was trying to pay homage to the original driver of the original Dragonsnake Tony Stoer. As a joke when they put his name on the car door instead of saying Driver, it said Aimer.

    However that is not really a word, aimer. I played around a lot with similar words like: pointer, shooter, etc. But nothing really worked for me. I finally decided instead of aimer to simply put
    Aims It. Which I think gets the point across. So I did find that little missing graphic and installed it this weekend as well.

    While I didn't put it on the knockout list I still have a couple of graphic things to do. As someone mentioned it was a bit plain as compared to the rest of the car. So I have been playing around with it as well. I think this is the direction I am going to go.

    I also have to get the crew names on it and something special for Dad and his contributions etc. And
    finally some where, if not on on the fender in black above the front wheels maybe on the top corner of the windshield in white the A/SP class number etc.

    Well my cue ball/ivory shifter knob came in today. And after finding some left over helmet graphics stuff in my desk it only took a few minutes for it to find a custom look. I am not sure if I will leave it or not but for now it looks pretty bad ass sitting on my desk! LOL

    I need to say thanks for your detailed description of building the egg crate grill.

    I’ll be copying your grill for my cobra after this past weekend at the drag strip.

    Friday night the car in the other lane left a trail of transmission parts and I picked up a big chunk of his bellhousing in my radiator that put me out of competition for t he rest of the weekend.

    You probably wouldn’t have that problem because your car has enough horsepower to be out front ;)

    James your just one of the best car guys I have had a chance to come to Know. And I wish life and the Meltdown drags could have given Me a chance to get to thrash talk this shit with you ,Jackson, Randall and Norb sitting around a grill in the pits with some burgers and brats with some cold beers and laughing our ass's off! All this takes me back in time when this is what cars guys did , talk smack, lend a hand, parts or beer! And just have fun! And I have built and enjoyed most every make built. But everyone likes to talk smack on Fords and I love the under dogs! lol Larry
