What about the pictures that circulated a few years ago with the Coastie C-130 crewman dragging that BIG A$$ snake away from the main wheel ?

That all the information I have,it was just sent to me in an Email the day before Rick asked about it. It's good to hear from you. How is the car project with the Ranger engine you picked up at Oshkosh coming along?

Hi Steve

We have it on a stand in the shop. We just hired an ex RAF fellow and he is excited to help with the engineering. We're in no hurry though. There are about 3 or 4 "personal" projects in line before it. And we have enough work for the next year, so the personal projects basically move backwards these days... which is a good thing of course. :lol:
