This is our 54 Standard Project. We've been working on it since January 1999, lots of part collecting, cutting, welding etc. etc. May hit the road.....one day!

As it is now...

Hi Dean.

I am not sure what has happened. If you total email size you are sending exceeds 2-3MB this could be why. Can you resize pics and send? Or are they posted on the net anywhere. I would really like to see an update!

I think it will hit the road before my barn does.
Keep up the good work and you will have 1 cool ride there Rich
