Alvin,

I was beginning to wonder how Big Bird was coming along since you had not posted about her in a while. Glad to see the ball is rolling smoothly.

Alan,

I have been in the car that the motor came out of and I can tell you that you will not be disapointed. My car is 500x500 at the wheels on a mustang so I am not easy to impress.

I followed the build up of big bird and have to say in person the car is even more impressive. I was shocked at how much of an impact shaving the gutters made. Really clean car you got. Whoever did the body work did a top knotch job. Being a former bodyman that is saying a lot.

I know Rob real well and spend a fair amount of time over at SCARGO. I hope to meet with you someday.

Tom

Alvin
