Great Party

Jill and I attended a real nice party in Eads Tn. at a beautiful home there was barbeque with all the fixins. keg beer and drinks.The Mid-South Mustang club had a show on the grounds with probably 20 cars in attendance, they had completed a poker run earlier in the day.There were some really nice Mustangs and cool people , one of which was Russ Hurley with his nice red convertible . It's a 88' with only 55,000 on the odometer, really well kept ,Russ has not had the ride long but he and his wife were enjoying the cool weather with the top down ! The "ON The Move " band really put on a good show !,and had a few dancers that shook it down ! OTM played a great mix of hit songs, all the members are very talented , hey they're for hire for all types of events . Alan Fulbright is a neighbor of our host and he was impressed with the band also.It doesnt get much better a nice cool night , good friends ,cool cars free beer and fantastic music . thanks to all !

Nsra in louisville

Man it was cool ! we were wore out and probably did not see but a third of the cars . We walked for miles it seemed like and then rode the shuttle around to get a scope of the size of the place,. Then went into the many buildings where the vendors set up .Chip Foose was signing autographs for Mothers Polishes, and had such a long line , I could not stand there and be able to see more in the one day we had ! But I did get to meet one of my hero's , Charley hutton the painter /body man from the Boyd Coddington shop. Man this guy is so cool , nice , and approachable ,He was very open about his process and his product preferences , PPG and Iwata guns cannot express how nice he was, and he now has his own shop !, would love to have a Charley ride !!I'll post a few pics !
