  3. Seeing this post reminded me of an art piece I saw at a local diner. 364709D7-3D48-40A2-8009-D3A523802AD6.jpeg

    What a journey. Much respect goes to the Southeast G***ers for doing what they do.

    I really hate that I missed this past weekend's tribute to Gene. Family obligations kept me away, otherwise I would have been there. Here are a few photos of Gene and the 'Moonlighter" through the years.

    To be perfectly honest I really don't know if the car is running or not but it looks like it did before the accident. HRP

    Glad to see it was repaired. Now hope it goes in a museum to keep telling Gene’s story and keep his memory alive.

    It's amazing to see how the community has come together once again to bring the car back to it's former glory.

    I know the Cromer Family appreciates your help.

    I believe seadog took that photo at Greer Drag Strip, this was when Gene unveiled the Moonlighter after being restored and brought back to the track. HRP

    Gene was a good man and a talented driver and builder. All these pictures are wonderful!
    Posting here to see if anyone out of town wanted the reprint of Gene Cromer's shirts.
    I was asked to do a reprint of the designs from the 2013 debut of Gene's return in the Moonlighter. This is link if anyone wants to preorder before June 5th. There are a variety of colors that I haven't printed before and some tanks for women. These are printed by local car enthusiast and local screen printer Bruiser Brand Apparel. https://www.etsy.com/listing/568344...for-the-moonlighter?transaction_id=3029625477
