List,

And now Cec will have all winter to work on "finishing" the car.  This
really is a work of art from the inside out.  Beautifully fabricated frame,
experience with another good streamliner to draw on for the little things,
body by Jim Burkdoll, and Terry is the slowest one in the family at the
moment. His three boys are all 2Club members as well.  Laurel & Hardy
engineering shop has been busy but it looks like the big block Chev will do
it's job ... and there's room for another one in that engine compartment. Go
Terry!  He wants the BIG record.
