    Wow, that's about the same view that Len Bertrand had in his Maverick.

    Definitely hooking good, BTW how did the stars look while you were gazing skyward?

    Wonder if welding a piece across one side of the upper shock mount would have prevented some of the damage to the shock mounts.

    Uh...looks like you had quite an uplifting experience there. I must say that was just as quick as it was awesome. You thought about submitting that car for the new space shuttle?:dance::dance:

    The ecstasy and the agony...I don't mean to sound negative, but I was cringing listening to it.
    I don't want to speak out of turn and Stephen may not feel the same way, I've seen the car in person as many of you have and I'd trade that pass back in a second to have the car back the way it was.

    Rick,
    He will just use it to make more mods to get into the 5's.
    Can you imagine that happening for the first time? It must
    be scary.
