Hey Jerry! Finally stuck your head out of the snow eh? Haven't heard much
from you on the list lately, hope that is because you are thrashing on that
roadster.........Hope to see it on the salt this summer. BTW, if you need a
"push monkey" just give a yell. Heck, I even come with references - just
ask Keith (OK, so I did almost tear the front end off the Camaro with the
tow rope........and yes I did drop a few N2O jets in the salt........ and
spilled beer & pop only give an intake manifold more character,............
and if the bottles not full, it's the scale's fault). Most people don't get
picky about the small stuff................
TO ALL ON THE LIST, HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR!
