Story

How's about work in process, like many people money is not unlimited and projects are many. I have had this car for about 13 years of its 18 year life. Its my favorite car to drive, and I truly believe in driving it. About 100,000 miles in 13 years, trailer queen it is not. Its a mutil-function car, summer time daily driven, sees SCCA Solo type events when I have time. Sees US131 or Milan dragway when I have time. I believe in doing whatever I can on my own, as an Engineer and Machinist I don't feel anything is out of my reach.
