Sam, you're doing an amazing job on that car...I will readily admit I was not on board with you when this project started since I'm a traditional sort of fellow, but damn it all if you didn't win me over...I wish I was closer to be able to lend a hand...and 2 names came to mind for your car...Hill Climber (to get you back "over the hill" to younger days) ...hehehe...or J Walkin Away...that play on words is pretty easy to figure out...best of luck brother, can't wait to see her finished!...

 

Sunday night after a long assed weekend on the J... all that is left to do is dzus the fenders on and hang the doors and put the swing out bar in it. i'll take it to racerods shop for an alignment and chassis scale job tomorrow. then fire it and set the barrel valve and run the engine in. and take it to the ardmore reunion race this coming friday night. come see it for the very first time all together and done. ill letter it a little later next month or so... think 007........ hetre it isw with all the new two day lexan job dave and i did. it runed out great a lexan with a 25% bronze smoke color koooooool . thanks all of ya ill have poics of it running and all together this week
