It warms the heart to see a bit of Australia at the Freedom Factory. Now I'm sure you guys have thought of this already, but I'll say it anyway, I don't think spares for that steering rack should be too hard to get in the US. It's a GM product for one, and GM did sell Holden Commodore based cars in the US for a little while. So I figure there's have to be something close kicking around up there. Also, I am beyind impressed at how Sam didn't flinch or anything when that exhaust was popping off. Nerves of steel. I'd have shat myself.

I love Sam's dedication to the body work, cleaning and polishing whilst they're turning it over and busting ear drums

I just saw the video about race ideas. This is in a totally different direction but I think a blindfold team race would be freakin hilarious and fun!!! Basically the driver is blindfolded and the passenger calls out directions. Husband and wife would be so funny. Anyway I love your work and what you have done for Motorsports and I can’t wait to see you and all the boys at The Freedom Factory for your birthday and The Freedom 500!!!!!! Let’s go!!!!! And “Do it for Dale” of course. I was actually just there for the first time a few weeks back…… Drove down from Dunnellon and camped across the street at lake manatee for The Tour Of Destruction on Saturday night. So fun!!!!!! Right on brother! See you gentlemen in a week!!!!!!!
