Nope didn't do that, but some reason some peoples stuff never shows until days later for some reason.

The enclosed trailer is nice for so many things. Mine is the spare garage, as the car stays in there most of the time. It also works as a place to sleep. It's also nice to just come home from the races, and not have to worry about unloading anything. Keeping the car safe and out of the elements is a added bonus.

Could be b/c we just don't communicate or hit "like" on each other's stuff much and all that.

Looks like a good time. I like the Volare bumper tuck. Any more pics of it. I want to do that to mine.

Got a couple more. Dean noticed the bumper suck/tuck too. Car was a nice clean build, looked like it was done yesterday....
It was definitely a build I could relate to.

I really liked the way this green A body was built. You can see Dean enjoying it as well.
The way the cage was done, it looked like it was still pretty easy to street drive if you wanted to, and it just had nice workmanship.

I assume this belongs to someone who is a member here, but have no idea. Haven't met anyone new from here in decades.

Bodywork + workmanship overall was unbelieveable on this 11 second RR.

The dash, shifter setup and all just looked superb.

Seating and cage was set up for a driver of smaller stature.
She came up and said hi, was very nice/friendly and told me to feel free to open the door for a look.

Though mine just has an 8 point as of now, I struggled with the idea of bending the door bar to clear the armrest pad.
Finally decided armrest pad delete would be better.

But, for someone of smaller stature, it might actually feel better to have that padded bar closer, rather than farther away.
Less room to flop around in there.

Sometimes, R&D does not mean "rob and duplicate".

Sometimes it helps answer a question. "Are stretched wheel openings worth the extra work?"

To the right is, more or less what I have had since 1990 except nowhere near that nice...( I'm tired of it).

To the left is close to the same tire height on a different 69RR with stretched openings.

By the time they get shipped over to Australia, they get pretty expensive.

Thank you Don. Pieces of the puzzle are coming together.
Ran into Mopar Tony/Tony N. at the track and he mentioned Rick, then I was over at Dwayne W.'s place yesterday and
he also mentioned him (+ a little bit about the effort put into those heads). If you hadn't said something I'd have never
put that together up

Two: Rich Hwang (personal) and Rich Hwang - Music.

Music page is all public posts and mostly on topic other than some funny stuff (I'm a part time guitarist these days).

Personal page has car stuff but the majority of it is restricted/not public.

What's yours?
