Just got back into town from Dallas area. Missed the show.

We're all working on our stuff to get ready to leave for Bowling Green week after next.

You coming?

Man I didn't even know about it. I will have my car at the ac shop next week getting some stuff fixed so....nah not this year.

BTW An old friend of mine knows you. Apparently you two have a mutual friend with an old 61 vette you work on at his house from time to time. My buddy is like his neighbor or something. He has a 95 5.0 convertible with a Vortech on it.


Anyway there was a great turn out at Niftee Fiftees. Not as many vettes as I had hoped but a great show none the less. We saw some pretty killer cars. Believe it or not, one of my faves was a 67 VW beetle that was in primer, it still had the VW boxer 4 but it was turboed with twin weber-type throttle bodies and port injectors. It was a killer little ride, a sleeper from hell, no doubt about it.

We had no problems other then my AC compressor blew a front seal but...no biggie.

Also met another board member although I didn't catch his name, he had a 79 Silver L82 with the 408" T&L motor I want. Sounded pretty damn stout.
