Just got home from vacation and the new Hop up special was waiting for me. There is a nice story on WATERTOWN and Randy Gribble and a few of the other LA Roadsters. He even mentioned heading to Bismarck to visit the Hubers!

Speaking of Hop Up, who owns this car? Apparently he's part of the hop up staff, campaigns a 4banger at bonneville and handmade the most beautiful top I've ever seen on a roadster. Ok, the windshield helps too. Ya, the car is fiberglass and BBC powered, but something grabbed me about this car. It made me want to apply paint to mine. I should have introduced myself as Tom Hubers friend, but I was too shy to go up and talk to him for some reason. Do you know who he is Tom?
