For weeks now people have been asking about the Pinks Project. While we got our ducks in a row we gave you the information that we were using my car for the Pinks Show… Do you think I am crazy? I worked on it all winter long, no way was I giving it up!
Currently, we have assembled a build team and started working on the car. Key donations have helped the project move along, but we are going to need everyones help to make this project a complete success. I have compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions to help everyone understand what we are doing. Feel free to ask questions if I did not cover them. Thanks.
