Re: Future of old cars and shows.

Hay Ollie, you  Petty car is one of the first I would look at in a car show 
or cruise in.  Obviously a fun car to build, drive, and show. . Youy ought 
to block the hood latch open , leave the hood down, and put a sign on it 
that says " Feel free to open the hood" I would love to hear the comments
