mrtimstik -THANKS , yep , Dueces Gone Wild is mine....Im having a ball with that car.
I want to get it on the track but i have to buy a scatter shield befor i can run...PLUS , I WANT TO KEEP MY FEET...i've heard to many stories about things letting loose and blowing through the floor.

Im thinking it will run low 11s easily ( IF I CAN SHIFT WELL )

Thumper , YES , I did see that there and i was loving it.
I remember back even just 10years ago and it was a lot different.
Unfortunately a lot of shows just arent the same BUT, Im always going to keep going with something.

1badnov - I just got a new digital camera and i will go take some GOOD pictures this week and send them

I have a guy that will put pics on t-shirts for me so i am taking some for him too.



I just got e-mail from 1 guy and a phone call from a friend telling me the car is in GOOD-GUY magazine from the show at INDY .
Gotta find that one now.

All this because of RABBIT ! see what you started Scott...LOL
i saw Scotts car at the gand when he first brought it out and just thought it was a killer car.
then i came across this Body and just had to build one!
