?? Don't know if I'll make it yet. Kevin might be there. We could have alot bugs to work out with this car, or it might work flawless :? Time will tell. I just pulled the head off my motor last night to inspect the damage on #4. Its really not that bad. I'm plannin on pullin that rod out and checkin the bearing.

Man, that's one mean looking frame.
It's awesome that you built your own with no jig or nothing, just straight from scratch. I hope to see it in a ction soon. Keep up the great work.
