Hey Hugh!
Seems like just the other day, we were going to the races! I never outgrew this stuff, I’m working on a 32 five window right now and just celebrated my 75th Birthday but still feel like 20!

Ted, Sorry this has taken sooo long to actually get to my desktop. The site got bombarded with a ton of spam and junk thus genuine emails like yours were simply tiny needles in a field of hay. Hopefully, the problem is getting solved thanks to my nephew Rod. I’ll be getting a training session from him soon regarding how to drive this monster. Hot rods are so much simpler to our generation than computers and web-sites.
Congratulations on the 75th are long over due but better late than never. Would love to see the 32, no doubt it will be a work of art. I’m working on a 40 Ford two-door sedan with a 57 Dodge D-500 Hemi 325″. Today, I will actually start making chips on the intake manifold to mount an intercooler and a Whipple blower. This part has been in the planning and tooling phase for over two years and I’m looking forward to finally seeing some net results.
I don’t work as fast as did in the 60′s.
Steve Straw and Bob Parker both have my contact info if you want immediate access to this stupid thing that sits on my desk and frustrates me. Would enjoy hearing more from you. Hugh
