I am just finishing up an early 1972 Red Pantera for a good customer, Parts are something else dealing with the people that can supply them. The Viper is an 8.3 Liter V-10 we installed some crazy $5000.00 header kit on. Vipers should have been distributed by Ace Hardware is all I'm sayin!

I recognize that background, I'm past your place nearly every day.

Stop in when your in the area when you have time, I'll show you the projects I have going on.

I used to see your red 67 435 Corvette driving in Itasca when we used to go for coffee at the now closed Starbucks. We visit Mark, Marcel and Angie at Wine with me every month to pick up our wine of the month bottle. Neat town, I had a lot of friends who grew up in Itasca. I went to Lake Park High School and lived in Medinah for17 years.

Cool--I will stop by when I have some time. Seems like an early spring, so I will be driving the 63 fuel coupe regularly, soon.

I don't have that red 435 anymore, sold it to Pro-Team about 4 years ago.

Itasca is a cool town, too bad we lost our Starbucks, but it makes for a lot easier driving to school and back not having to deal with the crowd.

I went to AT, left for college, moved to Texas, and by a cruel (female) twist of fate I ended up back here. My kids will be going to Lake Park for sure.

I knew our paths would cross sooner or later. Stop by when you can, I'm usually here between 9:00 and 4:00 M-F. Except this week, I'll be in Amelia Island Florida. I look forward to meeting you, looks like you've had and still have some very cool cars.

Here is the Mangusta I mentioned earlier. Rust repair is complete, Greg is a master metal craftsman, necessary to tackle one these.
This one is a very early '68, as such it is powered by a Shelby 289. - Bill W
