Hi Mike - I'm an old Ford Mechanic so I have a keen appreciation for your car.

Sparky - Yeah, she's not a prissy girl, doesn't mind getting dirty, and likes playing in the dirt :wink:

Hi Dan,

The blue paint image is a Photoshop rendering of what it would look like if I painted it blue. I'm on spending overload, so paint will have to wait.

JR - Thanks for the words of encouragement :-D
I would have never got this far along without the benefit of looking over you're teams shoulder; thanks again.

Sparky - I like the moniker. Has a nice ring to it.
Car is on the trailer, leave out in the AM.

Skip was unfortunate enough to be on the starting line next up when the meet was eventually called!
