    It's the original. Gene Winfield did the body and paint last fall. I'm not sure who put it together, but McBride's crew did the final details.

    Yeah, I know them. I work for a collector on the next block. Al is gone, retired, but still works at Britsport once in awhile. Ken still has an amazing collection of neon etc and a whole bunch of new cars in the past year.
