Chris Golden from Hammond. He has been doing race and show cars for many years, but only by word of mouth. That is how I found him. He only does one car at a time so it gets his full attention. I have seen a few cars he has done, very nice work. April 29 is the goal, but I don't want to rush it. If we are going this far, we might as well do it all and do it right.

Everything but the welding, tube notching and bending for the rear coil overs. Chris Golden is doing the chassis mods. Other than that, it's all me. Actually, I need an extra hand tonight to start putting the dog house back on. N2OJUNKIE, ARE YOU LISTENING!!!
