So I was going down the highway when I caught up to Jeff in his Desoto. One arm out the window, and the other on the wheel effortlessly steering this car down the highway at 65 MPH. That's when it dawned on me, he built that ENTIRE car. How many people can say that they actually built the vehicle they are driving. Not just re-assembled an existing design, but successfully designed and built their car? That's a very impressive feat.
I thought that was awsome!

Well...
Long story short is that first off, the plate is not a vanity plate, but rather an regular passenger registration. Mass used 4 numbers and two letters back about 20 years ago. Back then I noticed there were cars running around with four numbers and RT at the end. So that meant that 1967 would have to be out there, how cool would 1967 RT be for one of my RTs? Fast forward to now, and I had the opportunity to acquire it. Problem was I had to take it now or leave it...so on it went to the 66. That was the way I was able to ensure I got it and kept it. It will be on there until a get a 67 RT going.

! Thank you Rich, thats quite a compliment. I believe that anyone can accomplish anything if they put their mind to it and don’t give up on the end goal. When you get to the point that you don’t know what to do next, stop and walk away. Do some research or think about what you need to do to get the job done and do it

I had a calculus teacher who gave me a great piece of advice that I not only use daily, but tell the guys at work all the time. He said "You're in good shape if you know what you don't know." What it really means is that if you realize what you don't know, you figure it out. If you think you know everything, you will never learn.
