    I'm working the wife hard on this one. I would love this to be my Havasu/desert car.

    Thanks guys. There are five of us that all built things up for the dez. Four have the time to play with them, and mine just sits in the garage... Also have a real nice BigTex 20' bobtail deck 7K car trailer with electric brakes available if needed...
    Here's a link to a photo gallery over on TheSamba when I was building the car up (along with some of my buddy's cars...)
