Oh man that’s a rough row for anyone to hoe, but, you know that every pair of eyes that wanders The Gauge and the hearts that long for the perfect layout are all genuinely concerned about you.
It’s all about staying stress free, being happy with life and maintaining confidence in your abilities!

I was 18, Eddy 22, Frank 21, Vern 22, Brother Bill 15. The Safety Safari was two guys in a farm plated stake truck with corn brooms, blankets in water barrels, buckets of sand and a couple of extinguishers. Deist was trying to perfect the chute, Edelbrock was working out of his basement.

The B/ Comp roadster never rolled. Adult responsibilities, careers, marriage and kids took over.
You never forget bleach burnouts and smouldering rubber, the euphoria of an early morning methanol run, the exquisite sound of tuned headers at the 1320 mark, or the erotic sweetness of a perfect up-shift.
Blessings on ya!
