    Ahh, one of my absolute favorites here on FEP. Would love to have this one, wish I could swing it. Spent way too much on the '12 this year though. Don't suppose I could talk you out of those wheels could I? Always liked the Greg Welds.

    Appreciate the kind words. Someone will love this car as I have for 7 years. Been a long process, revitalizing it from the grave, left for dead in someones side yard. Drove it Sunday, had a good time. Runs like a top. Albeit an obnoxious straight line performer that makes you grin from ear to ear for 10 seconds at a time.

    I'm sorry that you have to let it go Chris. It's come a long way since I first saw it in primer at the Halifax Car Show. I know I'll definitely miss it.
