I would love to see the finished project. The exhaust are reminiscent of Auburn and Duisenberg.

I think I figured out Jim's m/o.

I watched the new Mad Max movie last night. Me thinks Jim was one of the vehicle prop builders for the movie. That is why he needed to take a break from his own project.

Plans are very fluid at this time.

Larry - wish I was going to home on San Antonio when you come through but I leave next Monday April 9 for a bit over two weeks...enjoy your trip back to California and your time with Prowler friends!

Plans are very fluid at this time.

Many thanks to Mike and Karen Gatlin for your hospitality while I was on my way back to California. Your new house is beautiful!

Tom and Susie Mills, Thank you very much for the tour and the great lunch.

Jim Sutton, I'll see you tomorrow before I go to meet Dano.

Laddie, You can expect to see me on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.

Tom and Dawn Lavka, I'll see you Thursday PM after I spend the day with Pauley Hines.

It's been a fun trip so far. Being able to catch up with old friends is priceless!

I stopped to visit with Jim Sutton yesterday. He's an amazingly creative guy. If you ever get a chance to meet Jim and visit his garage and workshop, do it!

Jim, Thanks for taking the time to visit with me yesterday. I loved your place and your projects.
