Thanks for the pics. Couldn't make it this year.
Only know him from watching him on Monster garage but I know he is a legendary lead slinger. Surprised there is only nine responses for this man.

Great project. Keep the bumper.
I'm guilty of burning one up with a dial a jet. During a caution I dialed her to leaner condition, got distracted and when the green came out I...
Nice chop. I wanted to chop my '41 but my son has hit 6'5" and is still growing. I've already lowered the seat for him so a chop isn't in the...
