Now that is funny; what did I say when I met her? How'd Matt get so lucky?
But then I remembered you are a great cook.

I was going to suggest the number 130 but I'm not sure Rick can pull off the look necessary to go with it.

Ok, I need help with the reference (see other thread relating to age).

The "Little Bastard" was an afterthought. I needed to register for a PCA DE and was asked a number. I put 130, knowing it was Dean's. When I had the vinyl cut for the numbers, I had them go ahead and do the "Little Bastard" as well. After the DE, I left the LB on.

Ah, of course - thanks.

Have you ever thought to buy someone else's project? Usually much easier on the wallet. I speak from experience

Yes, inquiring minds would like to know. H, I or GTB1?

Not done yet... silver car screams Martini to me. And not just 'cause I am enjoying one now.



A few shots from Rennsport Reunion, both Daytona and Laguna Seca.

Cheers!

Matt

Last car (terrific 993) was a lightly used racer and worked out real well. But this time around couldn't find the right combination of car, build, and price so I started a new build.
But you are right - someone else's build can work great.
Anyone interested in my 993?

Going to see the donor soon; I'll try to post the build specs shortly. Really solid build but might not be too exotic.

Interested in opinions about painting the cage - body color, black, or something from the graphics package.
