Default It was 10 years ago today......

<span style="font-style: italic">Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play.... </span>

Actually, it was 10 years ago today that I joined The Supercar Registry. I haven't been as active these days but I still try and check in whenever I get a chance.

I first found out about The Supercar Registry while reading Muscle Car Review magazine where I came across an article in which Casey Marks reviewed internet web sites. The ones featured that month were CRG (Camaro Research Group) and The Supercar Registry. I clicked on the sYc and spent a couple months reading EVERY SINGLE POST in EVERY forum! Believe it or not, it wasn't that hard back then, there weren't MILLIONS of posts!

After all my reading and catching up, I registered on June 5th, 2002 and joined the party. Along the way I have learned volumes of information, made many good friends, and even pissed a few people off along the way. ALL of it has been a blast!

I just wanted to thank the sYc and all of the people that have made the past 10 years quite the experience for me.

Cheers! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

It's how we met you Frank and it has been our pleasure. Happy tenth! I passed mine sometime last year.

Hi Frank. I don't visit here much lately, but I thought that I would mention that I saw your old blue 70 Chevelle at a car show in Big Rock last weekend.

Thanks guys!

Steve, yeah, the guy that I sold my old Chevelle to, John Rogerson, lives in Big Rock. I think Bill Prichard knows him too. He's buddies with Dan Hornback who owns the green Fencl Tufo Yenko Deuce. They are a good bunch over in those parts. I hear that John did a bunch of stuff to improve the Chevelle, most of which you cannot see on the outside. Did he keep the Cragers on it?

I didn't look it over too closely, but the Cragars are still on it.

Frank,
The Monte looks fantastic, did you have it fully detailed? If you did, please post pictures of how it looks now. With it being so original and untouched, I am sure many here including myself would like to see the end result. Also, I think I remember that the car had custom pinstriping, has it been removed? How did you remove it? Thanks!
