Nice Chris, no more dirt lot to compete with. That had to have been hell with the dust.

I might have some work for you depending on if I keep this car or not, can you fabricate rocker panels?

rocker panel

We can fabricate almost anything. And yes the fact that I dont have the Baja 1000 for a parking lot is a blessing. Not to mention the office and 2 bathrooms I now have. And to top it off I now live about 8 minutes up the road so the ride is fantastic.

No-minimal commute is the best, Ok, I am aiming towards spring to do this, I want to get my SFA swap done first due to the major trimming and welding that is going to be done on it.
