I wore my Flat Cad shirt Sunday and got lots of questions from strangers. :-D

Thanks Buddy. I only wear it on special occasions.

I never wear mine to BBQ... can't chance it... but it always draws comment  :-D

Although every now and then Linda requests I wear one of my 2 shirts that don't have "writing on them"  :-o  :-o  :-o
She thinks it's like  :dhorse:  :-D

Well, we've been pretty quiet for a while now, but have been planning some changes, and gathering parts

I'll post some updates and pics of work we are doing now and through the weekend, tonight when I get on a real computer! :-)

 Well we finally got our butts moving on the car a few weeks ago. Buddy and Randy flew out for the install....  We changed out the Tranny in the car to a 2 speed power glide.  I had to re design the adapter plates from the block to the tranny and re-do all the mounting bolts and locating pins for the bellhousing.
