Put on some new used wheels. Doesn't even look like the same car. Got numerous compliments. It must have been my smile. ;)

Hmmm, I suspect I have heard about these somewhere!  :thumbs:

That would mean Hanging Critter out to Dry

Why do you have to try and drag me into the middle of everything?  I can get in enough trouble on my own.  I do not need your help.

Sounds like you have been watching Phineas and Ferb. 

ASETech (Gary) and I swapped out door panels. So now my car is part Solstice and his is part Sky. I will post pics later today.

93° on my ride home, top down. It was almost too hot.

I have to say though, the Fly Swatter you all hate so much is incredible. It worked far better than the other screen I had. At 70 mph it was a mild breeze in the car. At 80 it began to get slightly noisy! I'm sold. It may be ugly, but damn it works well.

Looks really good Bobby! I haven't done anything to Lindsey in at least a week. I almost feel like I am abusing her for not spending time with her.

Guess if the Helios/DDM deal works out I may have to take a vacation to SC for some car work. Glad to see all the Kappas on the road again. About time y'all finally caught up!

What did you do to MY Kappa today (well, yesterday)? Ran the snot out of it at the KC area's season Solo opener. This season's "prep"? Washed it. Second fastest "fender" time behind a race built X1/9, won my class (umm .. only two cars), and second in PAX index. Race seat goes in this weekend, and Spec clutch with (YTBD) light flywheel in a few weeks.

Congrats! and sounds interesting. Is any modification required for racing seat installation. Don't think I have ever seen a thread here before for the installation of one... Will have to go look though.
