Sounds like a great car, I like the 63's too. Comets and Fairlanes. That's a motor combo I'd love to be doing, just too damn practical. I need an everywhere driver, like taking road trips in my car. Is it a driver yet or being built. I'd like to hear about the suspension.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
