I am humbled by the honor and plan on sticking around. Lots of hard work went into t
hat machine but in the end I was just not able to do the work myself and refuse to pay for services that were free and fun to do. Aside from the body work I did everything else. I had one hell of a good guy take it into his shop initially after the disassembly. Unfortunately, the man died right as covid was starting its wrath on the world.  Part of me will miss it but you will not see me on the hunt for that car in the future. Whomever ends up with it will probably be here at some point. I do look forward to seeing it again and following along over time if the new owner shows up somewhere. It was headed to Texas and I haven't seen it for sale as of yet.
   In the meantime I have some items and manuals to sell one of these days. Until then I will enjoy the creature comforts of a Premium GT with a stick.Thumbs UpToday I picked up my son at achool and of course he walkes through the wet sand before gerting in the car. Lol. Snow coming tonight so it was nice to get it out for a while.
