Hazel Green yeah you 2, Did you make to the car show in Ardmore a week or two ago. my dad and I were going to go check it out but other things come up. I think they had a big turn out.

I didn't make the Ardmore show ... wanted to go, but had just gotten some sheetmetal parts back from the media blaster and had to spray primer to fight off the rust monster.

Hope to make it next year.

i took a jab at the hole chopping tops things. i dont know how far i chopped it but i think it looks kind of cool... i am thinking a 4" chop. and maybe tilt the windsheald back so i dont have to use so much extra steel.

This is the reason the guy in KC uses a sanding wheel to chop his, it can follow curves.
