Ah well. Who the heck suggested flex seal?  🙄

And how did that air boat stay afloat?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Progress is progress!

Keep at it Allen!

Hope that works Bill!

Thanks for all the pics guys!

Great people, great cars, great weather, great event! All in all, a memorable weekend.

After parting ways with Bill on the PA turnpike, I got home around 5:30. Car ran like a top all weekend.

Kudos to all the winners in our humble little group.

Friday October 14, at 8:51, Orbital Sciences will be launching a space station resupply mission from Wallups Island VA.

Should be a pretty cool view from the VA Beach boardwalk.

Thanks for checking Roy!

You’re a smart man!

Thanks David! Your comments are spot on with regard to identifying a VW donor chassis and the engine info.

Boltonboy also asked about identifying the kit manufacturer.
