He's sending me some cd's of odds and ends. He didn't mention anything about your videos but maybe he's including them.
Okey Dokie. Just send me an email when you get them. I've been down here in CA for the last year, so I didn't take the video of when it was all together. If there is any video of the car before it was together then that would be my stuff, if not then I hope to hear from you.

Great now I won't have to travel far to see that bad boy. I followed thru the build up and I am just awed by the work that went into it and the HP it makes.

Congrats! Please be sure to post driving impressions and general "what it's like to own that beast". Some of us will be living vicariously through you! :D

PY58- You have to let us know what shows around here you are planning to take it to. I went to the Treasure Island show last year and the Grossman Vette show as a visitor.

Youll have a whale of a lot of attention with Merlin :D :cool: :cheers:

Best Regards,
Brent...

Welcome Panama Yellow 58. :seeya You wouldn't believe how excited I am that Merlin is right next door to me. :D You know, by purchasing a car like that you kind of became "instant celebrity" with those of us who have been on the forum to watch the rebuild and live in the neighborhood. ;) I live just across the border into South Dakota, between Milbank and Watertown. I have an uncle in Brooklyn Park and my mom commutes to Roseville every weekend to work so I do know the cities some. Now for the same speech I have given Steve about a hundred times. :D You should really plan on coming to the Black Hills Corvette Classic this summer. It is our regular vacation every year and is a blast. I think you can almost guarantee a best in show award at the car show, along with some special parking at the Hot Summer Nights segment of it. Check out http://www.blackhillscorvetteclassic.com for all the details. Feel free to email me as well. Either way, once you get the car let us know where you plan to be with it as far as shows and events go. There are a few mid-minnesotans and myself (a 18mile from the MN borderan:)) who would like to see the car and get together. Later.

BTW...In case you didn't know. If you want to email anybody on the forum just click on their username for more info. There's all kinds of info there. :seeya:

Welcome! Hope the pics you post are smaller than Steve's were. Everytime I looked at one of his updates, I had to go off and make a sandwich or something while my poor dialup connection nibbled away at it. :D
