    Anyone know who owns this red Skyhawk? I was told it was the old Kenne-Bell car I did some work on and painted about 20 years ago. I'l like to get in touch with the owner about some other pictures.

    I don't think I spelled his name right but that would be Wayne Emmot from Texas.

    Hey Wayne.. hows the car doing for you? Rod and I wanted to come down and check it out but never got the chance. It's a nice looking car!

    A couple of things that have stuck in my mind abouts Waynes car are:

    - The car looked fresh, every part on the car sparkled.
    - When cranking the car to start, it sound as if the starter cranked the engine
    at a very high RPM. 16v system, maybe?
    - This car is LOUD, no sure of the compression, sounded about like 29:1!!!!!!

    Cool car Wayne, thanks for bringing it out for us to enjoy.

    Wayne that car really looks good at the track now. Glad to see someone finally got it on the track! The work I did on it was in 1987 or 88! Here's a link to a few more old pic's if you're interested. KB / TA Skyhawk I'll shoot you an e-mail this weekend, I'd like to ask you some more detail if you don't mind.
