Good for Joe!!! Comes at a perfect time. He was getting pretty discouraged at one point recently with his 1969.

Way to go Joe!!! Do you still want to get a C-5? I'll bet you got more comments than you will wever get with a C-5 even though they are a terrific cars. Keep the '69... BTW.. I'm planning on having another BBQ after the Orlando NCRS meet in January. Steaks... Ribs...Burgers.. and more. Start planning now.

Thanks ever so much guys.
One always remembers there first-first place win.
It's great!
I guess the forum gets a piece of this win for every move I've made has been with the advice of my forum friends.:cheers:

Forgive me with my venting at times.:nopity
As you know these C-3's can beat you up both mentally and financially.
A C-5 in my future?
Only with the company of my '69.
But a lottery win will only make that happen.

Paul
Yes!You're right!:jester

Gary
There will be no more vettes to restore in my future.:D

Frank
You bad luck...well.:yesnod:
No way Frank!:lol:

Larry
Set up two more plates at the BBQ in Jan.
Your hospitality was wonderful last Jan.
The wife and I will make the trip to Fla again providing this terrorism problem goes away. :(

Thanks again everyone.
