    Once again I am nothing but impressed with the quality of your work. Looks like you had a great time in Arizona. Looking forward to the next installment in the saga of this beautiful car.

    Yeppers, that was neat! Joe/Bill: It would be nice for us all to get together when you pass through to talk some shop!

    I have a short list of things to do.
    I will install the power brakes this winter.
    I need to tweak the rear seat covers to improve the alignment of the two folding seat backs.
    And, I need matching floor mats.

    That sounds like fun; I'm looking forward to it!

    Congratulations on the first place!

    I wish I had known you were in town for the Concourse, I would have stopped by and said "Hi"!

    The voting ends on July 24th, so vote often!
    Thanks for your help!

    I love the pic of it you have on the voting site, with the windows down. An excellent picture of a rarity.

    I took a screenshot of the vote page picture, and I'm going to expand it to get rid of the extraneous things, so I can have a great pic of it.

    Isn't the old saying in Chicago something like - "vote early and vote often" ????

    Hey Bill. Thanks for the heads up on that Mercury. That’s gonna be one fine ride. It looks like a true 48,000 mile car.
