Re: Nuthin' Special gets a makeover, carston' T update.
Last night we loaded Nuthin' Special on the trailer and took him down to the show to check in. Carston and hisnfreind Gabe drove it in to the show. He got it parked registered and did a little cleaning before we had to go. IMG_20240314_202514.jpg IMG_20240314_202446.jpg IMG_20240313_221539.jpg Becau...

Hi Dennis,
Good to hear from. Thanks for the compliment! It's fun working with Carston and helping his ideas come to life, and learning new skills.
We need to get together some time soon. I can put Nuthin' Special on a trailer and come over get your speedster out and go for a drive.
