THANKS

My wife Berni for putting up with the car; my sons Tom, David and Mark for pushing me to get it out more, enjoy it and show it off (but they really just nag me constantly so they can have a drive); my daughters Melissa and Lucy, who don’t care for a drive so much, but have always been interested in it; Southern Rod & Custom for allowing us to use their facilities for the photoshoot
