No flaming intended from here, Tommy.   I just like for people to know how 
well SOME of our drag cars are appreciated such as mine being in the house 
with the interior and suspension intact and relatively easy to restore if I 
died and my wife sold it.   Come to think of it, what a heck of a garage 
sale she would have !!!!!!!!!!!!    I would LOVE to be there !!!!!    Oh, 
well....
