I gave Denny the original driver's door glass out of his Dad's car for him to hang on his garage wall. It was a great day!

Great bunch of guys!

I was busy taking pics of Jim's car, and many others, when I noticed a small message in the upper right corner of my camera...NO CARD !!!!!!!!!!! I had removed it the night before to download some pics and NEVER PUT IT BACK .......aaaaggg. Talk about disappointment. His car looks even better in person. I was getting the right angles with the lighting to show the White wrap actually has a metal flake in it and looked SO cool in person.
It was fun to meet Jim and talk with him.

Also wanted to say, I really appreciate that you wrapped the car, yours was one of the reasons I hit up the show.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE CAR NOW? LEAVE THE WRAP ON? leave the wrap on?

Made it back home from MCACN 2021. Mike and I had a great time and as always learned a lot. Met quite a few guys from this site who I only knew from their site name so it was good to put a face and real name to them. I think most of them I met this weekend had some parts on the car that they sold me at one time or another!
The car ended up winning a Concours Gold in Day 2 which was very satisfying as I had never had a car "points judged" before in my life. It was a great process and again, I learned stuff I didn't know before. Thank you to my resto partner/brother Mike and all on this site that sold me parts or provided knowledge and advice!
