    looks good! (y)

    but yep, thats what most people do.. park the trailer down the street some where and then drive it in. cops are usally cool.. i got pulled over last year cuz people were taking like one car at a time to make a left turn so i blew the red light cuz people were taking too long to make left turns. the cop asked me why i did that.. i said these people are taking for ever to make left turns! and my car was getting hot... he said yeah thats ok i have a 5.0 mustang all fixed up.. and let me go :D

    anyways i hope to see you out there at knotts... i just got my forms yesterday in the mail

    Yeah, that's for sure. Since I have no talent for body work, I traded a wrecked 70 Mustang Fastback for a big break in the cost of the body and paint work. So far, there are over 200 hours of body and paint work here. And counting. :coco:

    Which means I have been working my tail off to pay the painter. (This is still cheaper than if i tried to do it myself. Waste lots of time and materials, then still have to pay someone to fix it!)

    I have been acumulating parts for about two years now. I have just about everything I need to put the car back together. Now it just takes time. :)
