Default Schonye isn't ALL about DEUCES

Here's a note and a few photos I received from our own Mayor of Donahue. Looks like the guy knows his way around Camaros too.

[ QUOTE ]
Although she's still a work in process, I got tired of workin on it and went for a drive. This is in Oxford Jct. Ia., my home town. They made Otto Koranda's old DX station into the city hall. I thought she was just beggin for an old car shot. Spent my youth in this town, and more than a few trips to this station. While I've lived in Donahue since '73, I've never really left my Bohemian roots in OJ. If you look real hard, and think good thoughts, maybe it really is '68, and ol Otto is just about to come out and smear up the windshield.

I forgot to mention that while you can't see the tailpan, it's blacked out. When it's finished (someday) It will say on the drivers side,"THE EMERALD LADY", and on the pass side in smaller script it will say Chevron speed shop, Davenport Ia. They used to do all of Arnie Beswick's machine work. One of the owners still runs Auto Ron's Speed Shop in Davenport.

Feel free to share with the SYC guys if you like. Schonye

Yes sir, I think they'll enjoy them.

Love the stance on that Camaro. Wheels look great. Traction bars...very nice. Nice job Schonye. You framed those pictures just right. Keep us updated on her progress.

Those Tokheim 448's wouldn't last 1 day up here sitting outside like that..
That photo would look Vintage if Ken himself was just sitting behind the steering wheel.
Don't ever change..

Hey Mark, we're having a Reunion of the old White Hall Strips on Saturday, September 8th. Love to see an old '55 Gasser show up.
