    I appreciate the compliments :) I love this car and it makes people heads turn 180 deg.
    Thanks for posting the picture up, makes it a lot easier and convenient to see. I have many more pictures... Just gotta get to a computer instead of a phone w/ Internet. I'm about to rebuild my carbs and honestly have never done so. Any tips would be helpful! Hopefully I can do it without taking it to a car mechanic.
    It's also nice to see another devil dog in the forum. I Definately miss it and I don't at the same time haha.

    Beautiful car! (y) There is plenty of experience and expertise here.

    I've had the honor of serving with many Marines, thanks for your service.

    hey and welcome to the site! nice sprint, its prolly the best looking one ive seen. about those carb rebuilds, many old guys ive tlkd to (im 17) about rebuilding something or fixing something say to go find a non-epensive one similar to or same as the one u got (and this goes for any part, engine, trannie, or watevr u wanna fix or learn about) and tear it apart and put it back togethr. this way u dont have to worry about ur car being on downtime and u gain useful knowledge as u go along. wat kind of carbs do u have? i saw in the pic somewat wat ur workin with. from wat i can tell it seems like an expensive setup but im sure the guys on here can find cheaper alternatives for u to learn on.
