Default Lars update: TFB in Va.

hey guys, just got an email from lars informing me that the may 16 date for our get together may not work for him as he may be out of the country during that time. don't despair as he has us penciled in for that date and will let me know in due time if he'll be able to come work his magic on 8 lucky guys toys and show the rest of us how it should be done. so keep your fingers crossed or whatever voodoo that you do....ron

Sandy I finally got to put that tape in and it was COOL to see all the cars again.. I have to try another VCR though I couldn't hear any audio.. All the cool cars is definately worth a trip again. Where might this year's annual Lars Tuning for Beer session going to be? Dave..

There was a tape made? Any chance I can get a copy? I have my CD of images and some small video I shot with my digital camera, but would like a tape.

I'm hoping to make it back again this year just to watch and learn. Car still runs great from last time.

If the date changes - let us know??? I would love for him to take his hammer to my all original '67 BB (as I wont let anyone else touch it.)

However, I will be in Indiana at the NCRS regional. that week in May.

Depending on the date, I could offer my place as well. My wife and I are moving to a new house in Sterling with a two car garage.

Still not an update. just keeping it current. I have literally only had time to check this single post for the past 2 weeks. No forum browsing for me.

Although I saw another post the other day that said Lars' sked for the entire first 6 months is up in the air.

Lars - you arent joining the service are you? Going on a deployment???
