[Spridgets] john , NJMP in millville info?

[charles christ]

matt,
too bad i did not see you at the event.   after many years of building spridgets i could have given you some ideas to work on.  i was camped not far from you with the '61 jaguar #38 saloon MK2 wich i built the motor for a year ago.  
i must get back to the reassembly of my '67 street saab mdl., 96 sedan.   i need an economical car to drive these days as opposed to my '94 GMC suburban 4X4 tow vehicle!  (yes my bugeye runs fine gang!   but it's not insured right now!)  (money-money-money!)   frank!  i'm related to you! you and i have the same uncle..."myfundsarelow" ....  ;)

chuck.
same darn '59 bugeye since 1974.....
