Well I'm new to derbys but croton is my hometown fair, and I've got an old Honda Accord, should be ready to go, completely stripped and gutted. BUT are you allowed to put a different bumper on the front of it if I run the 4 cyl compact class? As I said I'm new to this so any info is much appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks to Cavalcade, I get a brand new door on my Tundra. It is amazing how shit happens when you park the vehicles within inches of each other. Going to mail a copy of the bill to Rotroff after the insurance pays it.
