ty all for the welcomes. yes the covered bridge is still here. will post pics as soon as i can. it will be a while before the javelin is up i found it in a junk pile about 3 months ago so it is only a shell now. the grand marquis has a good story behind it, the father figure that was like a father to me( my birth father left before i was born he did not want a family i guess but i see it as his loss) bought the car for me the day i was born it was only driven once in a while till i turned 16. dan was a car guy and taught me just about everything i know, and it was his brothers that i called uncles that are the race guys and i have been to more dirt track races than i can count. like i said my day care was a garage, i have been working on cars since i was old enough to hold the tools, or so they tell me.Comment
