    I guess you really never are through with these things, but it has been on the road for a little over 3 weeks now and I have been to two shows and a cruz-in
    with it.
    I still have some things that I am tweaking, carb adjustments etc.

    Very, very, very nice looking car! You don't see too many red ones, and yours is very well done. It looks like a nice, simple, clean original car. Great job.

    Sam :)

    Thanks,
    The hood scoop is reproduced-about $100-through Tony Branda.
    Look for the Cougar Eliminator scoop, they are the same.

    The hood is reproduced in fiberglass with the scoop built in. I have
    never seen one, so I don't know if it is exact.

    Tim,
    That is my lake!
    It's Falls Lake in Wake/Durham Co.
    That picture is actually in Durham County. Where I am parked is about a
    1/4 mile from the road that my Dad grew up on. The lake took the family
    farm in 1980. As the crow flies, I was parked about 1 mile from the homeplace,
    and some land that Dad and I spent many days crawling, walking, running, bicycling, motorcycling, fishing, working and playing on. Him much more than me as I was 12
    when that changed. I did work the tobacco fields there for 2 yrs. I picked up leaves
    at the barn long before that.

    Good times that are all but forgotten.

    Seth
