    The pressure is off. I wrapped up the interior yesterday, the paint is (mostly) polished, I think I'm ready. All that remains to be done is upholster the trunk, which can wait if I get lazy. Who wants to look in there anyway? Now the only big deal is what to tow it over there with and where to leave the trailer. 26731719_10215900573929874_62562354409401805_n.jpg IMG_3668.JPG 27867454_10216229672077122_4698896650164748570_n.jpg

  3. Brian, if you are upstairs you unload inside...don’t know if they do that in the ba*****t. In any event, they have a trailer lot a couple blocks a away...or did 10 years ago when I had the track roadster there.

    Yes, unloading inside in the ba*****t as well. I was going to save the $100 parking for the trailer, but I think it'd be worth it as opposed to trying to work out the logistics of getting it there Sunday, parking somewhere all day, etc.

    Beautiful---see you there
     
  12. Trailer space was free in 2008...someone sure screwed up that year. Guess it’s just the price of having a show car pal.

    I'm a couple miles north of COBO, but I've got space for a trailer if you're looking. PM me.

    Nice problem to have but I would have to roll on the wires first, the solid steelies second, and the others last. Not feeling the white walls for that car either.

    We are coming up, three cars and three truckloads of friends. We arrive Wednesday about noon. Two of the cars will be upstairs in the Cavalcade of Customs display and my sons Desoto will be downstairs

    IMG_3823.JPG IMG_3824.JPG IMG_3827.JPG IMG_3828.JPG What a mess. But, the carpet is back in, the steelies and wide whites are on, the trailer is empty, and I have Saturday and Sunday to finish up and get loaded up. Whew.

    Have fun at the show!

    I know, it's kinda plain, innit? A buddy is bringing me some '49 Chevy hubcaps, so that'll dress the curb side up a bit. The left side is all about the bling! 26731719_10215900573929874_62562354409401805_n.jpg
