thanks, last yr was the first full season on the car. Only took me 9 yrs to finish!! Had the old problem of either no time or no money. The great thing about building a nostalgia car is no matter how long it take to finish, it will still be a nostalgai car.
 Here is a pic of the day all of the hard work paid off. July,31 2011 First full pass on the car 9.03 @ 148.2

Hang in there man, its well worth the wait.  At times I thougt it would never be done, hense the name "Pipe Dreams". I'm sure I could have finished sooner but I've always wanted a FED  since I was about 5 and I wasn't going to skimp.

I substituted "darn" for the offending word. The no cussing rule, I think, just adds class to the forum. We can use the English language to express ourselfs, even it I cannot spell it.

I fully understand and when away form this forum I have been known to use the same language. It is a fresh breeze to come here and not hear it and we don't need it between ourselves.

Thanks for understanding.

Well darn... Going out on a limb, here, I'm gonna comment on that Shirley Muldowney photo, and with the greatest respect and appreciation for her, I say, "No bra, no problem!"
 Profanity is what it is, but Political Correctness is what it ain't.
Just keep the same amount of stuff on the right
as there is on the left. Seeing straight ahead is highly overrated....
