Man Pat....hated to hear about the turn four thing...but as we know...that can happen in Race'in. I really like these modifieds and you are doing a killer job of one in scale. The 1/1 you built makes me want to get into the shop and build one. I hope you can get the build bug back soon. You're a very good builder and it's certainly a real TREAT to watch as you build.

Dang Pat...you folks were very busy! :o I hope this wasn't in one season. I think that would be a little taxing... Looking forward to the upcoming WIP...

ALL right then Pat... Good to see you start on this puppy. What chassis are you starting with? The front clip looks like a Nascar front end.
