J&J... I remember that show. Met you guys there and left my car in the parking lot. It was a pretty nice event. Like Jeff, I have stuff going on as well with grad parties and a birthday around that time. But will see if I can squeeze it onto the calendar.

Tom.... Good to hear you are getting the old Garand back into shape... How's the thumb???? Wonder if there is anyone one else on this site that know what an "M1 thumb" is? You only have to loose the nail once.... you will never forget it!

The Factory Five Open House is the day before. I'll have to check with the boss to see if I can get out twice in the same weekend. Sounds like it could be a fun time.

When I qualified for the NH State Hi Power rifle team back in 83, yes, that is 19 not 18, my old shooting partner, then a Fed cop, told me of his friend who had "Garand Thumb", and yes, like Custer said---"I'll know next time"!
John, I don't know where the car is, but I had Gordon Vanderpool do my paint. He does business as New England Kustom and Collision in Hillsboro. You know what kind of job he did. 464-5551. His son Tom might answer the phone. Tell them I said hi.

John Fairhurst in Belmont NH will be painting my car and many other fine cars with his new downdraft spray booth. John was very knowlegdeable and he loves cobras.

Glad to hear you found someone to shoot color. Just make sure he uses a new push broom when he applies the final coat. It comes out much better! Let me know how you make out.

Has anyone had any ideas of meeting for breakfast before show, or are we just showing up randomly at Thunderama? I'm ALWAYS hungry.
