As neat as the silver car is to me. I still want a car that Schonye has put together at some point in the future.

Ken,
You are exactly correct. Here's another view with the Speedway in the background.

Nice rear shot.
We had some issues trying to bring Alan's new Nova to Ia. We got just south of Waterloo Ia. and hit black ice. We tagged a semi with the rt frt of the truck, which spun us around and he tagged us again in the rt rear box side. Amazingly enough we didn't put a scratch on the trailer. But we did a nice 180 on the interstate, and wound up in the middle or the median. Then almost got tagged again by a honda doing 360s coming from the other way.
Not a good day.
So as soon as I got home I got ahold of Rick N. who with the help of Tom S. was able to pick up the car from the owner, and Tom delivered it to Jensen Camaro this morning.
I think this is a great example of members helping each other out in a pinch. That's why I'm proud to be a member here.
As for the 10 10 blk Nova it's a pretty neat piece. 1st BV rear I've ever personally seen under a nova.
Thanks to all for the nice comments, and you're always welcome to stop by.

WOW, that had to be a trip! Who was with you?

Glad to hear no one was hurt. Could have been nasty.

Awesome shot! Thats a picture we need to add to the shop wall. I still think it needs the trim rings.

Mr. Foreman always a pleasure to see what is next on the list. What great colors for your L78 Novas (orange and black). Now if we can only get the Blue Mule done.
Joe

Just don't tell Tom S. that!!!! He is worth the wait but sometimes it gets a little frustrating.
