Hey Guys,
Thanks for the kind words on my old Chevy Gasser.
And yes I still have the 41 Willys and my 64 Dodge 330 (both are works in process).
These days I work very very slow..... HA

Hey Dave,
I enjoyed the 37 Coupe a bunch since I had one back in the 60's.

My 79 Dodge Challenger will always have a special place in my heart... it was the fastest car that I have owned and raced to date. My best time was 9.20 at 150 MPH before an aluminum rod let go and my Alky Injected 470 Lowdeck B-1 motor went south on me! OUCH $$$$$$

Guess I have slowed down a lot since then...just a few years away from the big "Seven 0". LOL
