Clint, I know you're joking...
Right?
Then again, sure why not? It's all in fun eh?

On another note, anyone interested in a highboy, probably for cheap?

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.

Sun Valley is just on the North end of Reno. I'm not sure what parts we are in need of. Been a while since I've been able to get after the Thumper project.

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.
