[Spridgets] Classic Motorsports Midget Project

[brian S]

Seems damn expensive to me, but I'm sure that all the parts were
"retail price".
For that kind of money I would have gotten the new
7 port head from Pierce/Dr. Marty Ferrillo.
More power and cheaper.
Introductory priced at at $750 assembled!!!!!
You'd have to get a pair of Webers for it tho.
I just got some information on it.
I'd show pics, but they aren't allowed on the list.
