I used a hand-me-down camera that the wife hates because it has a mind of it’s own, I did not turn off the date stamp and I pull the batteries out all the time because it eats batteries.
So the date stamps on the pics are inncorrect.
The car was finished May 15 2011 just in time for the 2011 Hot Rod Power Tour.
So if it ever appears I speak in toungs because of the time line the dates on the pics are wrong.
