Dang. His car still looks awfully good for being stripped. After watching "Pinks All Out" I've noticed these sharks look great going down the drag strip (and even better if they winWink) Thumbs Up. You've come a long way Ben, and it looks like you've got a lot more good times ahead toolin on it before you become a proud papa. Enjoy while you can, looks as if one day soon you'll be out of things to do on it and you'll have to settle for just drivin it Big smile. Clap
