I forgot about the huge Empi stickers you had on it!  I can remember sitting in traffic in front of Long Beach Autohaus, I hadn't even put them in yet, and I was holding them out the window waving them at Mark, looking at me out the window, and flipping me off ! We used to taunt each other with new EMPI aquisitions back then. Great fun!! |

HAHAHAHA!!! God, I totally forgot about that. Thanks, once again, for the memory, John. Too funny.
I think I tried getting back at you by acquiring a real '60s EMPI oval patch for my club jacket. Then, later, I scored the "EMPI RULES" patch. Good times. |

That one was to get you back for the EMPI patches you put on your club jacket and flaunted at me at a DKK rally! I was looking for a set at that time, and you came up with some!

I can remember walking up to the door at Autohaus with an EMPI gauge cluster, and you flew around the counter and locked the door on me ! I laughed so hard, I almost dropped the gauges!

Sheesh... a couple of knucklehead 19-20 yr. olds we were. Not much has changed. How 'bout the time I got a hold of you to advise that we scored a bunch of EMPI bumper bars? You came in and almost wiped out my inventory. HAHA!! |

I still have some of the boxes! I remember you had to help me carry them out to the car ! And you gave them to me for the list price from circa 1970ish something because Autohaus never updated the pricing. And then I came back the next day and bought more!

Some strange days, indeed. I just remember no one wanting those. So, McNew, you, me, and a few others put 'em on our cars. Brand new from the '60s. I was so stoked, that day, when I walked into the Auto Haus warehouse to pick up my order and saw those sitting in a corner.

thanks for the info on the engine. and i do know what you mean. it was probally the last time a car could evolve from a daily driven car into a reall looker (all neatly done) and still get coverage. not that does cars don't exist anymore, but featured cars have to be 'done'. i like the idea of a car that grows into a callooker. if i had known mine would not be painted yet as there is stuff that i find out now that is should or should not have done to it to make it 'better', for example welding in the IRS brackets on the chassis... small stuff you think off when you use the car. and when everything is done and works clean it up and make it tidy... now what a great deal off bullcrap was that... i'll make it up to you john  |

ZOSO logo on the fan shroud is very very cool !  As a true fan of rock music (and Led Zepp of course) I really appreciate that detail... |

ummm you know John better than I... maybe? . Nah, I've seen him in action... no gay there... in fact, I had to restrain him from taking apart that 6'8" UPS driver that backed in to his car years ago... no kidding, it was really a sight... John was going to to mop up the street with this dude. |
