and not turboed. Built by Alan Johnson as well. I see a trend

You may be thinking of the other Bob Johnson. I believe his black 69 was turbo charged. twins if I am not mistaken. His was a slightly different car on the outside though. I want to say his was a convertible but that doesn't seem right.

That is a great story. Very cool how neither Alan and Bob knew about it either.

That old saying 'its the thought that counts' at the end of the day, that's what really matters when gifts are given. Obviously a lot of thought went into your wife's gift Doug.

That car is so cool. I'm the one who named it Battle Axe. I've always liked it.

Doug, it may have you been you driving it at the time, but I remember a few years ago at Columbus Goodguys I heard something pretty mean sounding at the hotel next door and walked over just in time to see the end of the Battle Axe doing a nasty ass burnout in the back of the hotel parking lot - and then quickly parking - of course.

Did I already say that it sounds NASTY! Oh yeah, cuz it does!

Considering this is what Doug does for fun, I'd bet you're right, Brandon
