Dave, I know the one in the picture fairly well. I fell in love with her a couple of years ago. She's one mean mamma, but purdy.

That looks like a disc brake front end too. I think that's a shifter in the interior shot, hence 4 speed. Those are Bullit proof transmissions.

You got it! I don't remember what excuse you had for avoiding the party - but it was the start of the Thumper project.

Sure why not, my 79hp versus his 790hp. Even with it running on 4 cylinders, it would probably kick my rear.
