Is this the GMC of the future?? Looks like it's coming along quite well. Take a look.

I will be traveling up there to drop off some al. wheels to him soon.
Randy is rally a great craftsmen and he makes things happen.
He introduced me to a person that makes Pulse Jet engines, the two
will be going to the Salt Flats in Utah in August with his coach
pulling the Pulse Jet unit.

I'd like to see it also but I wouldn't call it the GMC of the future I'd call it the GMC of the art deco period.

It's nice to see such craftsmanship is still alive! Can't wait to see the finished product.

I don't see any provisions for body pads so far!

Randy will be looking for buyers for this unit once it is finished.
I will be there next week to drop off some parts to him as I need to
do some work on a coach.
