And again, Thanks much to ALL!

Crab - The car, along with some incredible rides, will be in the Chip's Choice display this year. The theme is Vette Rods and there are some from different generations. I don't have all the details yet but Lance Miller did contact me and I confirmed having the car there. OTher forum members like 1CoolC2 will be there with his 67 Black Convertible with SRIII Chasis and LS7 engine. Rich Lagasse will be there with his custom 63 "Split Personality" which would be a strong contender for the Ridler Award (Top award for custom cars/Street Rods).

Day I picked it up:
