[Michael C Henry]

The guy I bought my car from built it in 84. It was mostly used to compete in the Virgina city hill climb. He improved the car but was beat by a F40 Ferrari and a Hennesesy Viper.He now owns a Viper.I paid $30,000 And have stuck over $10, 000 into it by now.My wife loves it and wanted some of the improvments but it's taking too long to arange and get things done . A second summer is commoing and the car is two feet off the garage floor.I get the "If it wasn't what you wanted , why did you buy it ?" routine all the time.Her things were the seats and carpet weren't as nice as the other cars. Mine are A convertable top and defroster would open up a lot of driving days around here. The windsheild is leaned back and wouldn't match sidecurtains. It now takes two fuel pumps to keep engine at hiway speeds,The plate under intake is rusting. The fuses are out under the corner of the hood getting rain dripping on them and I got stuck on the road once due to those fuses and fuse holder.The rear end is still leaking. Thats todays project. You don't drive for free. Either you are making payments of it's nickel- diming you everyday. "A boat is a hole in the water where you pore your money" AND the HD logo is thought to stand for Harley-Davidson but is realy stands for "Hundered Dollars"everything is a hunderd dollars or more.Hell I just spent over $900 on fuel pumps, fittings, filters, fuel line and a fuel log. and there were more expensive stuff in the catalog and I took three weeks to decide on that.And I allready had a fuel system.I've added,changed, modified ,or rebuilt the bumpers ,exhuast ,engine, wiring ,interior, dash heater defroster ,covrertable top ,sidecurtains,windsheild, seats seat belts, battery ,charging system,rear differential, brakes,heat sheilds,steering,radiator, fuel tank,master switch,motor mounts, clutch flywheel and bell housing. Still have the original wiper blades ,I think.
What will make you stop?
The neighbors think I should have my name somewhere on the #88 car.
