    Likewise, when John Stanley's kid Chris was here in Brownsburg a few years back. He had some photos of a patch panel install that was absolutely amazing. There was no sign of the weld once he had finshed the panel.

    The Scroungers rule. Killer pictures man! Kev I remember Chris when you guys stopped by the shop awile ago. His Roadster is sweet!! Mike is a whole nuther story, he stopped by the shop a few months ago, I know of his sedan, but didnt know it was him that built it. After he broke out some pictures I realized that he was the builder of that master piece. He then showed me some more pic's, that guy has some amazing skills!! I would really like to visit New Zealand, Kev is it cool if I stay at you folk's place?

  4. Hey Jimmy, I figure my mom used to cook for 5 hungry kids so ....me, you, Bobby Green.... we have room for 2 more.
    Here is the sedan Jimmy is talking about. Mike built it for his cool wife Dyan. The build qualilty and details are unreal!

    Mike is a really good metal Guy!! When he started showing me his pictures at the shop, I was amazed. I cant stop staring at the picture you posted of his ****** tunnel. Tell the folks I am in!! J/K

  8. Tell the wife you have to go, it's a business trip. Oh yeah, you're buying the tickets, it's a tax writeoff :D.
     
  9. Jimmy,
    I remember going to your shop in GMT's 32 Ford hiboy delivery and giving you the New Zealand Hot Rod Magazine that had Dyan's Tudor that Mike built. Awesome car, hugely talented and a very humble guy as well.

    WOW I finally got the chance to see the post.. I dumped off about 4,000 photos to Kevin from our trip.. I was the most amazing trip of my entire life. I have been lucky enough travel europe a few times.. all over the usa.. But Going to New Zealand was the best by far.. I am so glad Kevin invited me. . I was really life changing. . The people were sooo sooo nice. . I want to go back.. I came back from the Trip. Quit my job at BMW of over 11 years..

    Meeting sooo many great people showed me. I was in the wrong environment!! I needed to enjoy my life more.. There was soooo much inovation there also.. It was amazing.. I grew up in Nebraska. with many nice people. . But the experience of NZ was sooo much more.

    I really appreciate getting the chance to do something like that..

    Can't wait to see what you post next Kevin..

    I WANT TO GO BACK NOW!!!!!!!!!!

    Wow, Aaron, great post! Thanks for sharing.

    I hope either yourself or Kev will start a separate thread on both the Hot Rod Blowout and Nostalgia Drags.
     
  18. I'm working on a Blowout thread right now. Nostalgia drags will follow with a few others.

    I can name a bunch of people that would be happy to put you up Jimmy.

    Just come on down. Bring the family. Bring a Hemi.

    Blowout time is best with all the events happening round then.
     
  21. Another WOW!

    You're gonna have to stop it Kev, I'm getting depressed (and going blind!) :)

    Anyone who has looked at Kev's pix in this thread alone and DOESN'T want to go to NZ, must have some serious issues. Man those are some incredible photos. Thanks for posting. On to the blowout thread!
