    A hundred threads back, I posted "Go to the ISS in the Space Shuttle. Damn, gotta scrap that one.
     
  4. It seems to me that you have the makiings of a bad ass coupe. But if you don't think that one will fit the bill for ya I should have my Starlight coupe finished before I die. I'll meet you at some drag strip and you and your other half can take turns making passes if you like.

  16. 66 grand Prix here :D '66 GMs must be related to combines in some fasion.

    Drove a '55 Ford into an onion patch once. Pretty long story and funny but it would need a different thread for sure. Way OT for this thread. Maybe a thread about what do you wish you had done, or hadn't. :eek:

    LOL, I may take you up on that someday. I've been 6 times, but haven't been for 4 years and really need to get back there. I usually hang out with the Old Buzzards, and all the Roamin Angels, Dr. Detroit (diesel pickup) and a couple of buddies out there with 30's coupes. I'd like to race there someday...had planned on building a tri 5 Chevy pickup to race there with my dad before he passed...but it'll happen someday, hopefully soon.
