I purchased my car from Rev-Pro in the early 80's. If I remember correctly, the gentleman's name was Willard Howe. I'll start climbing all over the car...
A few less cheeseburgers will take care of the weight problem in time. Time will also allow the average driver hone his skills behind the wheel. Titanium bolts...
