Thanks Mike glad to be here. I will get some more pictures and maybe some video. I ran at Road Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. I will try to get it edited and uploaded. Thanks and have a great day.

I am registered 2 times yesterday. One has my Dodge pics. The slide show did finally delete the picture of my charger showing the tag number an hour after I deleted it from my page. It wouldn't accept my log when I returned. Please let me know of any oppertunities to go to that museum in Oakwood. Your pics of it are fantastic. Your website is great too.
Thanks for the "welcome". Love the site. Looking at your phone number you must be local. That's great because I've never been able to find a good site or even a car club locally. Your cell is a bit similar to mine and I'm in Kennesaw (mine is 770-883-6820). Will add some photos. Car was wrecked (someone hit me) a couple of years ago and I've got some good before, during, and after shots following from the accident through to the final repaired car. Take care, Joe
Hi, Changed my name to Ric...
Here's a photo of what my '47 looked like before I started "remodeling"
Can 't send you a finished photo as of yet as it is in for paint and body work right now.
So far I have added power disc's on front and rear, a 305 small block chevy, 10 bolt rear end, auto trans,Auto choke (cause I'm lazy) air, power windows and door locks. door poppers, chopped 3" out of the roof height, removed all chrome and seams. reverse mini moon hubs, leather interior, extra large sound system to fill up all that empty space behind the seats, frenched '08 mercedes headlights, recessed '59 caddy tailights, completely new wiring system, harley davidson samson fishtail exhaust with propane flame system and ignitor,rebuilt original front end suspension and new leaf springs in back, all calibrated to the new weight of the car, and I'm thinking of adding airbags to the rear for a little added support (this is one heavy car) and and gee I can''t think of anything else I have blown money during the last five years rebuilding this lead sled except for the paint that I am in process of getting done right now. It will be Black cherry with a zillion layer of clearcoat
that's all for now. Where is the button for adding photo's to comment's. I'm new and can't see it...... thanks
Hey Mike, thanks!...that is perhaps my very favorite BMW commercials, too bad they didn't run it in the USA. Every time I see it, it brings a tear to my eye. y car looked just like the one in the commerical. I was so posessed by that car that the first night I had it I slept in it.
Hi Mike
Had the Avanti out for a little test ride today,it felt real good driving it,suposed to be
getting the rechromed valve covers thursday.Bringing it sunday i hope.
Thank you so much for your help and for suggesting this site. We held our first car & tractor show last October and are looking forward to making this year's show even better.
Michael, Hope to attend one of your events soon, I have been very busy photographing season wrap up baseball games for local high schools lately. Hope to see you guys soon! Thanks, Bill Morrow
Thank you very much. Everyone i've met thus far has been very welcoming. I hope to met the rest of the club at future events. And thanks for welcoming me aboard.
Semper Fidelis!!!!
Michael, your not going to believe this. Saturday May 1st, Maxie Price informed us that we had at the most 2 months to find another place to go. Maxie Jr. told me that they had enough cars on order to fill the his lot therfore ther would not be any room for us.
Because we have moved around so many times in the last 3 years we have decided not to do the cruisin thing any more for awhile. Were still going to judge the carshows that
we are allready doing as Street Legal Car Club. I will get back in touch with you dates.
Thanks Julian.
The Friday night event at the twisted tavern looks like a good time. I'm going to be in the area anyway as my son trains at the Choi Kwan Do studio around the corner. My wife and I will look forward to trying something on their menu. Talk to you soon.
PS....Will not be able to make it down to Winder on Saturday, I have a full day of family stuff on the agenda,
Thanks so much. Hope i was the true winner. Worked very hard from my stand point. 55 hr week job, daughter growing very fast, wedding to plan. Which Arlene has done most the work with the wedding. But hard to get people to sign up. They like to go on the web site but not log in. So, hope I was some help. Thanks again!
I didn't get up to Dawsonville until about 2 pm. At that time there were only a dozen or so cars still there. So, my son and I had a late lunch and kicked around the festival before heading back. Maybe the threat of bad weather kept many car owners away. Oh well, it was a great drive!
Thanks for your note Mike. Looks like a great web site. Heading up to Dawsonville today as it appears the bad weather is going to hold off until tomorow.
Will you be at red sky Friday nite? If not where can i send you my list for the competition, for our member join up list. Want that trophy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I promised a friend I would go to the Dawsonville Arts Fest on Saturday, but Havana sound like fun. I will try to make it over Sunday and meet. Hope the weather is better than last weekend.
