The recent work of Jim LaFreeda

I know him as "Jimmy". Came up to me at Honda one day, looked at my name tag and said my last name correctly. You know I would take notice of that. After a quick chat, he tells me my wife Debbie, taught him in the 4th grade. I thought wow...I'm freakin' old! Jimmy is a great scratch builder. I mean, he can see stuff that I could never even attempt. He wanted to do a Petty Road Runner in the worst way...

Well...
