    Congratulations on a major milestone. It's a very satisfying sound - even if you still have other items on our to-do list.

    Pretty good lookin' car! With a bumper, valance and hood it would look real good. Can't wait till FFW! Been looking forward to that since the second we walked out the gate last year. :)

    Good job on the maverick, the door seems to be the only real headache...FFW was cool last year, lots of racing, good folks, I really enjoyed it. Good luck on having it ready...Jim
