    Thanks...

    I appreciate the kind words...
    The 62 Project has been in this Mid State of completion for awhile now... I just started working on it again... This winter should at least get it to a point where we can Cruise some this summer..
    The 53 ...Not sure about it , my son and I built this for him to drive in High School and I drove it for awhile after that ...Future Project ?, maybe ... or Maybe sell it and use the funds on the 62...we'll see..
    Thanks Again
    Ray
