Brant, nice pix. Where was the show? Do you know if the Hertz was real or a clone? If it's real would a higher resolution photo by chance show the owners name. Don't know the car but we are always recruiting new members for my other club. Its the same color combination as one of the race car partners car, is supposed to be. Two of my friends have owned the same car. Origoinally sapphire/gold, but a intermediate owner changed it to the traditional white with blue stripes.

Thanks for the invite Brant... NOT!

I got invited

Dan,

longmont show.
I'll email you the high res version of that pic.
I didn't talk to the guy, but his placard indicated it was a real Hertz car

Gint, crap... I wasn't trying to exclude you.
I should of put it out on the colorado group.
sorry about that.

Hey one interesting thing that came out of this.
within the last year the hotrod stuff in longmont is booming.
a couple of new shops opened.

one is a mechanical shop with full dyno.
they run dyno-days one saturday a month and anyone can come for $45

the other neat new shop is a blasting shop. They do media blasting and specialize in autos, including the claim that they know how to use the correct media to avoid warping think panels. (something I might need in the future)

greg, how went the car work yesterday? are you going to make the DE? what didcha' decide?

more pics:

well, the shocks are finally being shipped (but that's another story)
