that's just wrong !  >:(
of course if i did not have to save all the "good stuff" from the land fills it would not have taken 6 weeks to find enough space in the garage to work on the GT  ;)

Allright.....perhaps I can undo the damage.......if that was the stuff of nightmares then is this the stuff of dreams......if you were young in the 70's this ad could get you dreaming real quick............for me it was a 1971 Firebird towing a 1973 Glaspar G3/115 Evinrude

The GT over the dam took place in Austin Texas....that is the Tom Miller Dam on the Colorado River (forms Lake Austin)I think...........These photos are from a write up  when they were filming Outlaw Blues. I happened across it looking through some old magazines. This jump is not as well known as the Bond jump.
