Looks intresting only problem is they don't seem to have any rules regarding "gifts" such as..."I was cleaning out the garage and noticed this electric water pump laying around do ytou want it?" Need to email them on that because i haven't paid for my slicks in years and aren't even real sure what fair market value would be either if that is how they handle that issue. Also does labor count towards the 2003? i shoudl actually be emailing all this to grassroots for the info. anyway if i don't go myself i will be happy to help where i can.

Actually they do have a thing about gifts and current inventory: charged at fair market value...At least that's what I read, LOL! I guess the real Q is what is fair?

Not sure about the labor deal; I'd like to know myself. Most of the parts I have were given to me, traded for, or received in exchange for labor...

Do you still have the control arms Shaggy? I may need them back in November :D

You just never know where I might pop up LOL

I'm sure you'll do more with less than most...that's the C.A.N. way!!

I just want the video of that wagon doing the roadcourse part. That will be a Kodak moment!

Welp, since I have a Griggs torque arm for the LX, I could easily build a copy for the wagon, LOL! I might have to get creative for the panhard bar...

Hmmm, a 1G wagon...

If you go for this, let me know. I'll definately be making this trip to see this in person.

I can hear those highly overdriven wheels turning in your head from here. :D

The next big question is who is gonna drive it? I think Debra should. That would just finish off the insult of beating down a bunch of mustangs, etc with a wagon, and your wife driving! SWEET!

BTW, your cam is in the mail TOMORROW. Yes, I am a slacker...

LOL! Yes, the little old lady whooping them, LOL!

No hurry on the cam; too many irons right to to even think about it...

Thanks! I guess I owe you a package too, LOL!

Nay!

...now I gotta figure out a name for the turd...
