Default Re: Thanks Jeff!

When I (Yes I said I) built mine i bought a back up engine from someone who had one and bought a body for $12.00.. no that is not a typo &12.00. Then 2 years of restoring and laboring to make it work watching Ken Etter & Steve Wann & Jerry Bennett get it hammered with hp. But i kept plugging away...that was 2000. Now 2 model & year changes later it is still 24 hp up from the start and lost .3 plus from a natural J to a H...and now come the ringers just to make it worse. Yea James I built it. From the ground up..

I will never forget my first national.. I was struggling and Ken Etter said to me...Hey that is a nice car. too bad the motor is a hunk of junk. I could run 10.90 in h with it.. I was in I @ the time running 12.20s .That hurt & i knew I was in for a long weekend.. But I am still here.
