    Your doing a great job. Looking really good and your doing great for a young guy. No better way to learn than to do it yourself. - Matt

    Looking really good, Colby is a long time away and at the rate you are going it will be a new car by then. Glad you youngsters are taking interest in older cars (Mavs and Comets) and getting your hands dirty. :thumbs2:

    Heck maybe you could talk mom into bringing it down to the mini meet in Issaquah on July 26th, we need to help Coop out and have a good turnout so they will continue to have a class for Mavericks and Comets.
