Finster, Thanks for posting that, my memory of where my Dad bought the is a little hazy. I did remember hearing his first name was Dave,but for some reason thought he was in Oregon. Somewhere I have more pictures of the Baja my Dad built using one of Dave's one piece hood.

In 1980 at Harvey’s Casino in Nevada, two men planted a bomb along with a ransom note demanding $3 million.
The bomb squad attempted to neutralize it using a smaller explosive, and no ransom was ever given.
The total cost of the damage was estimated to be around $18 million.

A friend of mine was working there when this happened. He and other employees were trying to get people out of the building before the blast, but many ignored them and stayed at their machines. He decided to bail, walked home, and was sitting in the front yard with a beer when the bomb went off. He never got his final paycheck, either.

Ahoy! 
Why is everyone staring at the floor like something just died down there?, or maybe a giant hole just opened up?
