funny you posted this, i just found your card in my desk. you left it on my winshield with a note that said "if you want to sell your car" and had an arrow pointing to the front where your number was . I had my car in Columbus for the Hula Hop last year, and we stayed at the Red Roof inn in Dublin...that's where i discovered your card on my windshield. Next time i'm down your way i'll stop in! (p.s. car's not for sale ) -ace
I wondered why your wagon was parked there and I spent many dollars at that building when it was a Main auto parts and I will be there saturday. Jeff
Very cool looking shop wish you good luck in the new endeavour. I live in Kettering for two years and worked in down town. Do I miss Dayton? No to much snow and humility in Dayton for this California boy. Wright Patterson air museum is a great place to visit. CRUISER

Sent ya about 4 pictures Bill. Might just take a cruise down some weekend before the weather gets ****ty! which with Ohio weather could be in 3 hours! -ace
Not going to be able to make this one due to work...but look forward to the next get together. You going down to the pumpkin run in Oct?
Congrats on the grand opening. Wish I could be there. I'll be in Ohio this weekend but plans are to attend the Glenmoor Gathering at a country club in Canton. Never done it but was invited so I thought I'd check it out. Really looking forward to it. Good luck and we'll catch up soon.
It's supposed to rain for part of the day tomorrow. Let's get out and try to scare it away for Bill. Nobody rains on his parade! bump...
I'm sure I'll drop by sometime, but not this weekend. Can't keep me out of the Air Force Museum for much more than a year.
Here are my pix from Saturday. Originally, I was to meet up wit the Indy guys in Richmond and lead them over to Daddy Katz. Also, I was planning on driving my coupe but when I left my house, it was still raining a little and that's all it took for me to throw in the towel regarding driving the coupe with slicks in the rain. So I drove my daily over to Richmond. Most of these are just random shots. Others deserve a little captioning. Here are some shots of these cool old cars that kept following me. They even stopped at the same gas station that I did! Once me and my little parade got to Exit 29 on I70, we met up with S****s. During the last several miles on the interstate, I realized that the weather was gonna hold out and I should have driven my coupe. So when we met up with S****s, I handed the reigns of the Indy caravan over to him and I headed home to get my coupe. I hate being left out. Here's Btktopbandit Brian in a new car. I never did ask him about it. Maybe he'll spill the beans on it When S****s and the Indy guys arrived, the front lot was pretty full, so they parked on the side of the building. Also back there was JunkyardJeff and Stevo. FalconEddie was riding shotgun with Jeff for the day. Random inside shots. The last one is Tim trying to decide what sticker to buy me. Tim, I'm not that picky, just buy one! If you're ever in the greater Dayton area, make it a point to stop in and see Bill. He's got a kool thing goin here!
Definately a trip that was worth while. Great shop. Lots of interesting things to look @ and buy. Me and the rest of the Indy crew all ******ed up some cool swag, for sure! Thanks for the hospitality, we really felt at home! Hope to make it to the next open house in December.
Was a great trip for us and an even neater shop! Looking forward to a December cruise to the official blow out!
I wish I could have made it but actually had to stay in town and work for a change! Keep me posted on the event in December, nothing like a winter roadster cruise to get your blood flowing! The shop looks really cool from the pics posted, best of luck in your new venture!
Finlay Back on line... Still without power at home, but the shop is up and running !! A BIG THANK YOU to all that came to the shop on Saturday. It was a great time !! Thanks to the Indy guys that made the Kruze over! And thanks to GMC Bubba, for the "Daddy Katz Hot Sauce" Mmmm You can only buy it here !! Watch the web site for Info on the December 13 party and Kruze-In.
