    Bump for DRuss32. This sounds like a good cause. Maybe get a Maryland contingent to go to help support the effort?....Don.

    This was, I presume, the Joe Smith Automotive formerly located in or near Atlanta GA?

    If they would put those posters on the web site for a few bucks and give the proceeds to the spinal cord folks I'd bet that enough of us would buy one to raise the kitty for the day quite a bit.

    Alright, let's do it. I wish that I had thought of it myself.

    All proceeds from the Posters will go to the Spinal Cord Injury ***ociation of Virginia. I will accept a Five Dollar donation on their behalf through PayPal, check or Money Order. That will cover postage as well.

    I will have them available for the Open House as well for you local folks.

    Pm me for details.

    Great idea. Thank you.

    What was that about a trailer?
    I couldn't hear ya Dave?
    You have 24 hours to complete this entire build? What could possibly be the problem?
    A few set backs is no reason not to drive an open header-ed, open fender, chopped, channeled, tri-carb, home built, experimental brake-d, Owner Engineered & Manufactured (that's OE&M folks) , Screaming Blue Mimmie down I-95 doing 95 with visions of Valhalla on the first outing? Mash the go pedal until you see Odin, bra
    You need to check your inner viking.( and not the Techno kind)

    That car would Kill IT sitting on milk crates in front of Waffle House. Bring it to the Open House when the time is right. If you make it with the car, it would be great, but don't rush the eye candy for me. What's another few days? We will see on the streets soon enough.

    ( off subject)
    Havlir, I am calling you out.

    Bump for todays group as a reminder for saturdays big show. I just scrubbed a year and a half worth of grime off the whitewalls. They look purdy. Comet cleaner works great.

    Don't mean to be a pest, but if someone were coming from the North (like Maryland) on Rt. 301, is there a pretty simple, straight-forward way of getting to the location? Sorry, I'm too cheap to buy a GPS...Thanks in advance.....Don.

    301 will hit Parham rd about 2 miles from the shop. It is a pretty nice drive. 301 to Parham and make a right. Parham to Rt.1 and make another right. Blackstone Ave is the second right on Rt.1.

    Blackstone is across form the Waffle House ( also originated in Atlanta, GA) on the right. You can't miss us.

    Call if you get lost 804-264-1953 or if you want more landmarks with the directions.
