Last time I wheeled with him was in October. He came out to the Hammers with us.

In this link I think there are some pics of him in there somewhere. I am overseas and the net will not let me see all the pics  :shake:

He said he was going to work on the rig last night, but then again, he has been saying that for the last year or two.  :rofl2:

He glued a new lid on the first gen, removed all the tube work front the dash level up. He gave his tube doors to Troy, and is in the process of exoing it.

Ok, Ok, actually we have him tied up in Brian Cox' 4runner's engine compartment.  :shhh:
