Re: Road trip: making it there and back
Day 2: Woke up and realized my charcoal was damp so it was a fast food breakfast, overcame the shower-house fear and made it to the Stray Kat 500. Was a great show so much on the HAMB you may want to read it there. Quality cars and people. Toured the Tom Mix Museum and the old Hotel.
One of the cars couldn't wait to see was HAMBs Dr. Dave's 4 door "A". Now might not be the thing for some of you. But lots of good "old man" restorations from years ago that sat and owners age or family decided to sell. If its a coupe or roadster we often see them cut up and do our appropriate bitching. Several of us who had or still do own the go fast cars have come to enjoy and respect the slower life and the great things that make Henry's Lady a classic. Dave's a guy who saw a nice car and bought it and made it work in his style without severely altering the car. With its roddish drop retaining mechanical brakes and rubber rake, subtle touches lights and dropped bar made it a standout perfect family cruiser. I overheard someone looking at the interior and commenting how cool it was, I bet a lot of guys looked up the 4 doors for sale that night - I did. I believe it attracted new people to the beauty and details that would have been overlooked without the attitude/altitude adjustment.
