I'm not a member of the yahoo group so I can't see the link, what's up?
I know he's mentioned his health, but don't know any details.

Whatever the case, Good Luck Gimpster!

Below is Gimpster's message from the Yahoo board.



Due to my declining health, Wanda is pulling the plug on my shop at the end of
this month. I haven't been there in over a week and a half as of recent.
I need to sell off 6 Legends Cars. In a nutshell, 3 sedans and 3 bubble coupes.
All dirt cars. One sedan has a 1250. The others 1200's. One bubble is a
roller....(not all cars are mine) Way too much to list on here as far as parts
with them go. Many of them have new BFG tires on them with minimum laps on those
skins.
If interested, email me, please don't reply to interested purchases on this
thread. I'm not on here much anymore

Darrell... thanks, we will not make the dirt nationals, my friend.

See you on the other side

Thats a good deal, too bad they don't have anything smaller than 230   
What is the smallest that you typically need?

Every shim in the head on my cars is smaller than 2.30. On my other car there is one 2.30, the rest are smaller. After a season or so on a valve job, you will probably start needing smaller numbers, unless you get your head worked every year.
