    Did anyone see the new issue of Car Collector? There's an article on James Dean in it.
     
  4. I'm driving over on Saturday for the day....first time in a long time I won't be there all weekend. :( Of course all the old farts I run with will be there so I'll at least have a place to steal a cold one from:D

    I'm supposed to meet up with AV8jon in Anderson Friday morning and caravan up with him. Guess you could PM him about rolling with us if you have to go thru Anderson or we can meet up at the James Dean Run.

    Me and a few of my friends will be at the Ducktail run all day Saturday. Look for a black '32 Ford sedan with "Stray Kat" on the cowl. I'll be the old dude behind the wheel!!:D

    FAB32 and I were planning to go but family matters will prevent it. Frank, Donzie and I went last year and had a great time. I've got 2 rooms for 3 nights at the Hampton Inn in Marion that I'm gonna cancel. If any HAMBER needs them PM me.

    Well, my dad (Jim A.) will be at the james dean run (merc corral) debuting, a 1940 merc that me and him choped 5 inches, and made some barris inspired custom windows for a customer. Come by and check it out, and say hello.

    here is a picture of the car before it got shiny paint.
    It looks amazing in shiny paint. :eek:

    I'll be there in my '40. I like the Ducktail it's a pretty good turnout in a nice relaxed setting.
