  7. WOW! So dad & I are rolling into So-Cal for the open house, I swing a U-turn into an open spot. Climb out of the car & I'm greeted by Ron! We had a few good laughs over the irony of my parking next to his Forty.

    Ron's car comes with an optional high performance Chevrolet V-8!

    The 34 without sides is Shines dad, and the solid hood sides is Billy Gibbons also with the gas cap mod. They are parked next to each other in the same bay. Wow what a pair of coupes. I blew my wad there last night!

    This is awesome guys! I'm jealous and happy for you guys for how much fun your having on your trip... It was great meeting with You and your Dad today. I hope it has been and continues to be as fun as it looks! Have a safe trip home!

    Your trip really makes me want to plan a road trip just my Dad and I to the Lone Star Round-up in Texas.

    So did you did you meet any good looking women at the Show today?
