Too bad the wiring is so bad. It looks like an angry animal got into the wiring harness, but it was really the previous owner. Runs beautifully. It doesn’t backfire in spite of my user name, that’s in reference to a Datsun pickup I drove in high school.

I probably bit off more than any sane person can chew.

At the China Lake Airshow last weekend.

He says it has a rough ride and that he doesn’t like driving. He and his brother inherited it. I tried to convince him to give me a ride in it. I doubt it worked. I knew he was wealthy despite being a teacher like me.
