Here are a few shots of Annie's car (not yet completed). As it has been heavily shown the last several years, we thought we would make a slight change (hopefully with Dennis H. blessings) and show it the remainder of this year as a Day II car. Ann found an actual photo of the car as it was back in the 70's and this was duplicated thanks to Cumby who did the lettering and application in the 11th hour for us. The stinger hood was never on the car but we thought it would add a lot. Look for a couple more changes before the reunion and VetteFest and then it is back to original.

Thanks to Dennis for the striping/lettering and Schoney and Joe not only for their help on the hood but also bailing me out of a major jamb on the trip down. I could not have down it without their help. You saved my butt!! I just hope Joe shared some of that gas money with you Ken.

The car looks fantastic. Keep it that way for a while Annie..

Great seeing everyone over the weekend. The family had a great time. We're all ready for next year. Maybe I'll change the gearing in the Z for the drive?

I can never stop thinking how grateful I am that I have developed some many great friendships due to this website.

Nope. I didn't see him carrying those useless boxes of scrap metal.

If you guys had ever bothered to look in the bottom of the totes you would have seen all the NOS Nova parts that I was going to leave on the side of the freeway to save weight. I was just going to give them all to you guys but you insisted on giving them back to me on Friday night.....

Thanks again to the Schoenthaler bunch.

By the way...the Nova looks great. Wasn't something else supposed to be "near the front" of the car??

Actually it was. However, it was in the windshield and/or with the sign depending on which show as I could not find the correct bolts in time to attach it where it should have been mounted. Several people noticed it and commented on it. Maybe someone took a picture of it and will post it. Cumby?
