    Well after thrashing for months on shoes plymouth and mcphails 60, we mad the deadline. I was beat but managed to muster up some more energy after I was asked to help chop the top on the 48 .No way was I going to miss the chance to work with bill and brad. what a great experience that was. I was alittle confussed when bill marked it out to cut, but I knew the master knew what he was doing , so no worries. I had never chopped one like that before, but it turned out great. That is why he is the master. shoe's plymouth turned out great, alot of people didn't notice all the subtle changes but that is the way it is suppose to be. when it looks factory you know it is RIGHT. dennis' 60 altho not 100% done showed well. got an award and a photo shoot. mikes shoebox got 3 awards, gary minnors pick, top 25, and koolest hubcap. then to top it all off, dennis, mike and I were invited to the K.C. world of wheels show. and dennis was invited to detriot. That just made it all worth it. !!! wow, 2 years in a row something I built will be going to detroit. I was dead tired for the weekend , but am all rested up and ready to ROCK, I'm pulling one of my old projects out od storage and going to finish it for this winter. starbirds lookout !!! It was great seeing everyone and just hanging out, between helping on the top. I'm living the dream............what a great life !!! jeff

    Hey Jeff, You need to brag more! When you just listed all the cars that were there plus the ones I knew about, I thought, How about a Rodders Journal feature on this cat?
