But of course!
(Been busier than shit really, and if it ain't one thing then its the next, just putting out fires.
Will drop by Foster and rattle the cage.
Gotta get some of the miracle material for seats that Tim Taylor says we have to have, seems iron is too hard.

And we really ought to sit down and see what we need to do to use those roller rockers.)

My next dream is an early 80s Corolla or Celica with a 2.2liter S2000 motor. In a couple of years it will happen. My fabricator is finishing a super clean street 510 with an SR20DET. That looks fun too(light, fast, affordable, reliable). I think that there should be Histo-Mod class.
