Allen, did you back half it to handle the horsepower?

CONGRATULATIONS Steve! It's a beauty! &lt;img src=&quot;https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mpup.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mpup.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;

Sorry to hear about your mom &lt;img src=&quot;https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...rown.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;

Ditto Steve on both. Glad to see the car is coming home. That is a wish of many, very rare when a car comes full circle. &lt;img src=&quot;https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ship.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;

Thanks Darren. It is indeed very gratifying on many fronts. I had called the owner for so many years that I thought it may not happen. Being Patient (23 yrs)was the key, and now the fun begins. I have already started buying parts for the car an plan to drive this car like I stole it &lt;img src=&quot;https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...grin.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;

Oh and the Chi Town dogs at lunch were delicious &lt;img src=&quot;https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...eers.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;

Glad you enjoyed them, next time we'll do beefs. Don't forget to post pics as you begin getting the car together.

Steve:

The last time that we talked, it didn't sound like it was going to happen. I'm happy for you and glad the old girl is coming home! I'd like to think that maybe your mom had something to do with it. Congratulations, Ed
