Hey Sam, thanks for the encouraging words. I've been a 'car' guy all my life, & often tell my friends, that I'm paying the price for being a 'hot rodder'. My old '70 SS454 Chevelle, that Jim Ross (SS4Real) has, is still a lost love of mine. Jim is a great guy, & I'm still sad he moved away. I was fortunate enough to become friends with Marty Didzerekis, when I met him while working on his Bronco II in 1986, when I was a mechanic for Ford. I have some fond stories that I won't bore you with, but I remember telling Marty about my '66 GTO that I owned at the time, & Marty telling me that he wanted to get back into cars & how he loved the '62 Bubbletop 409s. At the time, I didn't think he was serious, but before I knew it, he had the nicest one I had ever seen. Marty invited me to have my Chevelle in the Showcase at 'Vette Fest in 1996, when I still lived in Chicago, & that was a wonderful experience. Chevy's & Pontiacs have always been my 1st true love, but AMCs & Fords have come in a close 2nd. Mopars too, but they've always been priced away from me. So anyway, I guess that is why the label 'Stranger' makes me feel uneasy. Thanks, Robb

Hey Bruce, I've read that, & according to that, I'm a newbie. Doesn't answer as to why I'm labeled as a 'stranger' though, & I guess that's what I'm curious about. I may be strange, but I'm definitely not a stranger! Thanks

Hmmmm

Very interesting...I was a stranger....once upon a time!

That's okay...people still think I'm strange...LOL

BTW, killer car! As Sam says...good luck with the sale!

I make a donation every year, yet i'm a pithy "addict"?? Oh well shoe fits,but I think that title should belong exclusively to Bruce once his odometer rolls over 10k

That and maybe a lifetime membership for his tireless efforts to the site

Had to edit this post naturally when I saw my count
