    That is awesome John!!! Sounds like Darren is a cool guy and you're an even cooler guy for the way you handled the whole situation. I won't get all mushy like Ward but I will say congratulations, sounds like it's all gonna work out.(y)

    Will do!
    Darren is a first class guy....that is one of the reasons why I went to him in the first place. The way he is dealing with this situation just proves what I already knew.

    Sounds like a great guy you're dealing with John. Can't wait to see the reincarnation of your hot rod next season. (or at least pictures)

    yeah me too.
    I am trying to figure out a way to scrape up the money to get a set of 1 3/4 headers made for it......that would really help the performance a bunch.
    But right now there is just to many projects with trying to get the yellow mav painted and road ready for next year.
