Hey Steve...missed you but not your car! Congrats Hey, how long have you had your car? Reason I ask, I missed a Blue 65,396,425 hp couple of years ago on CL. Very nice 65!!

Here's one more pic.....my daughter was happy for Dad

Randy I love this pic....Wish she could have made it out with us...
And thanks for sharing the pics...
For my very first real points show, I was floored with my tie for 3rd, but to get the BEST SHARK award out of all the sharks was amazing....
I feel honored to be a part of all these great cars.

Great pics Randy, and congratulation on your First Place Win. Wish I could have made it. Second place is not a bad place Don. You can't always win, LOL. Great win George.

You missed a good show Tony! Don was happy for my winning the top spot, but I'm sure he'll reclaim his position as Top Dog next year!

Steve,

Your car is a stunner! Don (Muddywaters) and I were looking it over and I was reminicing about the 65 396-425 convertible I had many years ago. Same color as yours but black interior. If I only knew then what I know now, that car would still be in the garage, oh well!

Congratulations on the win, well deserved.

Randy,

Congratulations on top spot, as long as you and Don are at the same show the old blue beast will be second or third loser! It was a fun day, too bad it only happens once a year. We need to get Tony down for one of these shows.

Hey, I was more thinkn' about all the ga-bage I dug out of your rad!!

Funny thing is....While we were in Prunetucky, waiting on Tom...we were getting hit quite hard with a near sprinkle....Needless to say, Joanne and I got it all off at the show, but, both of us clean forgot to clean the back window...where 2 judges hit us with a 1/4 point each!!

Tom will figure it all out...as now, George has And of couse lets not forget Thomas...he'll also be hitting us with a new splash of color Muddy

Hey, speaking of color....Thomas has his color shot...and is now putting the car back together...maybe we should start think'n about a GTG end of Sept or Oct.!! Muddy...Grand finale, for the end of the year!

Thanks for pointing that out

If Thomas is going back to the color he had before, watch for a Best Paint award headed his way

We had thought about a cruise at one time, wish we had discussed it Sunday oh well we got time thought about a possible hook-up in San Jose to include a drive through Big Basin and on to the coast, lunch in Santa Cruz or thereabouts.....thoughts?

No worries regarding the Rad.... I got your back!

Yea, now that I think about it...we should have been discussing a GTG while SCC was dishing out the hardware or durring lunch!! LOL. Of couse we would have had to stop BS'ing Corvettes

Tom...we'll watch out for that date or rather non date! I don't think the crew will come down this far so soon....I'd be leaning towards what Randy suggested....Big Basin, then run North a bit. Randy, after you had suggested that area....Joanne and I did a run up there with the Harley. We mainly wanted to check out Tom's restaurant suggestion "Alice's Resturant" Must report that restaurant location is a great one! http://www.alicesrestaurant.com/ Good food, very nice locaton...tons of ambience and is a known Harleys and classic car lunch spot. I'll research it next week...heavy work load now and sailing this weekend...anyone up??? Having said that....maybe we could post a Norcal "California Stingray's" thread next week??? Muddy

Sure, if you don't mind researching that eatery, I can do the organizing....put some of my new organization skills to work

Have a date in mind?
