This car must be cursed. I dropped a can of spray paint on it and broke the left front shock off, broke the front axle, broke the frame, broke the hood, broke the gear shift lever and broke the carb and air breather off, which I now cannot find. I'm thinkin its about to get destroyed in a full tilt boogie run in with the west wall of the Moparman Speedway, which is just over the top of the computer desk ! pce

Moments like these, are ones when you just gotta go get a H-U-G-E glass of iced-tea, go watch T.V. for awhile, THEN, come back and "repair the damage"!!!!!!!!!! Little jalopy looks WAY TOO GOOD to "throw in the towel"........(or "toss the project" as the case may be......) We'll be rlr for the FINISHED racecar!!!!!! TECHMAN |

Would be a shame to fling it, It still looks cool with the battle damage.

I think I've been able to keep this crate out of the wall for now! r:r I added some exhaust pipes today and scrounged up a carb and air breather and should be able to take some pics tomorrow unless its still raining. I have some good ole Alabama clay left so I am going to dirty this thing up too. |
