    A couple weekends ago we were at another event when an interesting (to me anyway) interchange occurred. Somewhat a counter to the young man mentioned above who got his nose out of joint about the engine, this guy made some comments that immediately defined him as an experienced rodder/builder. He looked around the interior and his first remark was about how he admired how "clean" the column drop looked. Now to most it's just a bracket that hangs from the bottom of the dash..............and they're right, that really is all it is. But to someone who's "been there, done that" and appreciates form, function, and proportion there's more to see. It really isn't that big a deal, but, if you've ever noticed some of the clunky looking installations, then by comparison it could warrant recognition. Just one of those little things.......

    He really showed his observation skills when he also picked up on the most unusual feature (in my view anyway) of the interior..........pretty sharp cat. Folks like that can make your day.......

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
