I've found a sweet project close to home and have been given permission to follow its progress for our blog. Gardner Competition Engines (GCE) is in the process of restoring a genuine 1964 Malibu SS Convertible. GCE (Jeff) is planning to have this car ready for this summer's cruising. Optimistically...

Here are more Camaro pictures. This car has some really sweet body sculpting that the silver does not show. This car should have some pin stripping or the Z06 strips to show them. For example, you can not see the design in the roof. Maybe a more agressive color to show the body lines that were desig...

TireSmoke and I drove to Detroit today (in a snow storm) and really enjoyed the show. We thought that a middle of the week day would have less crowding. I can't imagine the weekend being anymore crowded. It was worth the trip but parking during a business work day created a significant problem. The ...

Hope you took pictures with the fenders off. I'm sure there are plenty of Nova parts at Spring Carlisle '06. Might even be a good time to break that motor in. 300 miles each way, perfect. Or think of all the parts you could haul with that big truck of yours. Grins!

As further enticement, please remember the fine quisine that we experienced at both breakfast and dinner. Also, I would like to mention that the rooms are 125.95 each per night, down from the 129.95 that we paid last year. http://img2.postimage.org/209859/CarlisleBreakfast.jpg http://img2.postimage....

Keep the reports coming. Also consider Spring Carlisle. I'm sure there'll be something there that you need.

Now that the holidays are behind us, it's time to concentrate on even more important events. Like Spring Carlisle!!!! I've booked two rooms at the Howard Johnson, where we stayed the last several years, for Thursday April 20th, Friday April 21st, and Saturday April 22nd. We'll return Sunday morning ...

Mark H. goes to this show every year with his son Steve and friends. They are leaving his place (Mentor) Saturday the 21st at 7:00am. I think I might join them. He is planning to arrive at the show by 10:30am and leaving by 3:00pm arriving home about 8:00pm after a stop for dinner. Anyone want to dr...

I would be interested if weather permits. I would have gone with Mark Heine last year but a snow storm stopped me. Mark says it's a great show. What are the dates? You and I are busy on Saturday the 7th of January due to the Chili & Wine thing. How about a week day, might be less crowded. Standi...

Love to see that progress. Not boring. How about a current "as is" picture or two.

Those new wheels and the Firehawks sure made a big difference. The wax job didn't hurt either. Maybe we'll get some numbers in the spring when it comes out of hibernation.

WOW! Yes, but will those exhaust down pipes you had made still work good enough to get you to the Muffler shop?

Looking forward to following the adventures that Jim and you have when swapping in that less worn 90,000 mile motor you have in storage on your deck. Wish I could be there.

You are welcome. A special thanks to Mark for having the idea to have our special "TireSmoke" caps made available.
