My Mad Kaw Disease had ANOTHER flareup last night... I picked up my 3rd 80' 4/6 LTD. Well, kinda my 3rd, the second one I picked up last year was in rough shape so I stripped it down to use for doner parts. The newest one was the closest, only 15 minutes from my house! Its a basket case, but has potential. I'm hoping to make 2 nice sleds from the 3.

Its getting bad! I have:

2 - Interceptors (one needs assembled)
2 - 440 Invaders 79' & 81'
1 - 340 79' Invader
1 - Green chassis Invader that needs assembled
1 - 78' Intruder
2 - 80' 4/6 LTD's

That's nine Kawi's, NINE! That isn't including the 4 or 5 bare chassis that I have accumulated from sleds that I have stripped for parts...

So who's the sickest? How many Kawi's do you own?

Well, I'm sure that I'm not the sickest (My wife would disagree, she put me on the no new projects restriction

). But the the bug has hit me hard this year. 1 79 Drifter 440 have had this sled since 1987. 1 1981 Ltd.,2 1982 Ltd's, and alway's lookin' for more parts.

Yeah, the funny thing is, I never saw any until I got one. Now I see them all over the place, same with my 1980 4/6.
