Firstly, please note the following "out-of-office notice":
I'll be traveling in Canada through the 21st, and won't have access to internet, e-mail or even phone - per Lisa's orders.

If I've been waiting on your overdue, promised "How It Was Done" write-up (gentlemen, you know who you are!)... please complete it and send it in! I'll want it right away when I get back.

Before I leave, I thought you guys might get a chuckle out of this 21+ year old snapshot. Yep, same old car!

By the time this photo (above) was taken, I'd already done a lot of wrench-turning and polishing. The old girl was beginning to look almost respectable. Still, it's a "before photo"... it was taken before the old four-banger threw a rod.

I challenge you to post your "before photos" here below!

Curtis,

31 years ago. 1977.

My Dad still owns this car albeit his hair has turned lighter and mine a little darker:

How would my Mom have ever known how much I enjoy these pictures! I have some like it of my kids in E-types, Midgets and even in the MGB.

Should have mentioned, the MKII Sprite is a photo of a project I am STILL working on and probably will be for years to come. It will be one of my more or les stock cars. I had to post though. I really like those cars and photos of Dad and myself. :-)
