I saw where they said they have to have a "normal" build day and won't have as much time to talk/tour/etc.

All those pesky 427 convertible orders giving them more work!! Oh well, that's a GOOD thing!

Still thinking about it.....

Count me in for this one! I've always wanted to do this tour but never could because of work, but this year I will be able to get the day off.

My wife (origionally from Detroit) and I have been thinking of finally making the Woodward Dream Cruise this year. Maybe we could leave a day earlier and make this side trip with you and your group if you wouldn't mind a couple Pennsylvanian's tagging along.
I'd love to see the PBC where our LS7 was born.
We have relatives in Northville and Bloomfield Hills..

Deb: let me know if you are open to hosting the group for dinner in Milford? They have some great reastaurants there. Coratti's on Main is a fantastic northern Italian spot, or we can always just road trip it to Bakers?

We can do a backwoods caravan from the GM Build Center to the restaurant, and we can map out a route to circle the perimeter of GM Proving Grounds maybe? I'll scope out parking in advance if you think it's a go?
