It's too cold for an ice cream cone, but "Blu BiYu" will warm your ��

Kurt L71S - Your Lemans Sport turned out great and I love the blue you chose. I hope to see it this year sometime (Norwalk maybe?). Congratulations on a job well done!

We had a chance to put our photography skills to work yesterday...
Did some editing, matting and framing on "Blu BiYu".
BTW, we have gotten so many kind compliments on how she looks and sounds. We are so thankful and grateful to each and every one of them...

Sincerely,
Kurt and Kathy Keller

Thanks Scott! Ya know...I am way too old school....the rear end has to be up some....I raised the front yesterday about an inch, just because in 1971, THAT'S the way it was....

Default Last But Not Least

Finally done with this girl. I had a dual snorkel air cleaner ordered from Ames since Oct 2018. They were never produced.
We found one on FB Marketplace. It was in a guy's garage for the last 30 + years. I did not have to paint it...just cleaned it up and installed a new chrome lid. Nice score for "Blu BiYu"

I thought it was about time to see these "Sisters" together. �� Paul Krauss from Kentucky �� Kurt Keller from Indiana��
It amazes me just how much these two are alike...and yet so different....1970 GTO ..... 1971 LeMans Sport
