Thanks fellas for the well wishes!!!  Actually I have a 67 Chevelle I'm piddling with but it's a pro touring type car.  I'm also going to finish a modified I started on a couple of years ago before cancer hit my wife and me.  Let me tell ya, model car building is far more fun than cancer treatment however we're both survivors and look forward to building many more models with my friends here!!!

Who knows, I might even finish some in the near future!!!  Tom came over and powerwashed my house yesterday and he brought me a little surprise.  It was none other than a new Revell Foose Eldorod.  It's a cool Kustom...wonder what it would look like with cut out fenders, dirt tires and a roll cage???  Nah, just kidding, Tom!!!  I have several dirt cars under construction that need to be finished.  Hey, Steven, do you know where Cedarville, Ill is???  They have a fun contest and a large swap meet in March of every year.  Tom and I have been going for awhile and have loads of fun and the good Dr. Kerry even gets there sometimes.  Think about putting it on your calendar.  We drive about 4 hours to go.  Anyone else interested is welcome as well!!!😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏁

We'll have to see if I can work out a way to pick you up and return you home.  Since I'm retired I can rearrange my schedule fairly easy.  Let's keep this possibility alive as I would love to meet you as well!!!  We'll figure something out.😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏁

Glad to hear you're better Greg!   Can't wait to see some of your dirt track models...I know how great Tom's builds are and I'm sure yours are as well!

Got to finish them, Bob, but I don't think they're quite as good as Tom's...big difference is probably that he builds replicas and I build what I want to.  You might be interested in the Cedarville contest and swap meet as well.  Oh yah, forgot that he actually builds quite a bit faster than I do.  😎🏁

Steven,

I live in North Central Iowa, just about 20 miles south of the Minnesota border, close to 50-60 miles west of I-35.....
