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 !

STREET ROD NATS.

Jill and I are going to make a world wind tour to the NSRA street rod nationals in Louisville .This is a very nice event with thousands of pre 1948 cars of all types .There will be tons of vendors and a huge swap meet.Normally the vendors put on tech seminars that are really cool, and I've seen a few celebrity's attending too!The NSRA also has neat give aways for registered members ,so check it out !

squirtin some blue

Well we finally got the House of Kolor ,Oriental Blue shot and it looks tuff ! Took a long day of work to get it all squirted but the effort paid off.This will be a very visually striking car,and we all have put in a ton of work on it , but as the home stretch is in site we can't let up ,just gotta finish!I did have some issues with the paint ,most of which was human error, and some dealt with not having just the perfect place to work!

To date we have assembled most of the rear of the car,bumpers ,lights ,trunk and quarter glass.This week I'll polish most of the car and do the door rubber and the the ominous task of wiring her up,and finishing the air con and dash
