    Default Atlanta Pix

    I don't know about you folks, but somehow i never get tired of looking at this car. Believe it or not, these pictures are of the car after it was tore up and "patched" at the track. Sean might be considered a bit anal about attention to detail, spit and polish, etc. But this hot rod is not a trailer queen. It hauls buggy on the track. Sean has to be proud of the accomplishment of coming from concept to reality. Glad to see Rob fit it in the new issue of FCM.

    He even signs autographs for his fans.

    Paddocked next to this guy... I always feel like Fred Sanford.

    Mike, don't be so hard on yourself. You shouldn't feel that way. You may look that way, but you shouldn't feel that way.

    Car is really nice, however I have been upside down in my Citation more than once. You might want to get out the old broom stick and double check the clearance.

    Nope... Crutchfield Racing did the fab work/ engine install and I did the painting, floor, etc. Prince did the rear lower a-arms and Comprent did some more tweaking to get her where she is now.

    Default what chassis?

    Nice job, as a guy starting down this path I am beginning to realize how much work is involved.

    I am sure everyone knows but me, anyway, what chassis did the car start life as?
