WHAT A MESS!!!! in case anyone is wondering or cares, I am still alive and well. no run-ins with jonny law, no injuries, no sickness, no nothing. And no i would never think of ditching this site. Work has been HELL (much OT out of good concience as well as required, and a month more of same) The maverick is coming together (Spent EVERY WAKING HOUR last 4 days on it) complete with a bad burn off a header and many busted knuckles trying to get it running and sound for time-trials on 6-11 and maybe "special interest/orphan" class in show 6-12. (if i can get off work for one the essential events of my summer) I GOT TO DRIVE HER AGAIN!!!:evilsmile . talk about a long time coming. granted it was without fenders, bumper, or radio. and just to test a tranny, have exhaust "re-hung", and fill'er up. but the music of those pipes gave me back that "will to be & to be me" so how ya'll been????
