Thanks Phil!

I have to laugh, got my judging sheets back on Fri and smiled when I got gigged for sloppy trunk weatherstrip adhesive and Dum-Dum under my washer nozzles.....I think the Norwood guy's would disagree!

That's why you should never have a great car judged at a local show... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Tru-dat! ....I expected it all &amp; more actually, but just thought those were pretty basic items. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

After listening to the men and women tell their stories at the Norwood Reunion last year, you gotta love these so-called judges. How did they make a hole for the 4-speed to line up with a body &quot;hanging on the line&quot; with an automatic? Call on The Chisel Man! True story.

Jeff,

That was David Harris's recollection. I was there when he told you that! Background: When there was a missed element over at Fisher Body on the coach work it was often not caught until just before the car was sequenced for assembly on the Chassis side because there was no reason to really look. In this example the front of the tunnel was missing the hole for the standard transmission. This condition was corrected by cut off wheel and then final trimmed for clearance by the &quot;Chisel man&quot;.

I've been hunting this piece for a few years. Finally got my prize! This showed up on eBay years ago for $99.95. No way was I going to pay that for a frame I didn't need. I like to own my hobby not the other way around. Anyway, the price dropped a little at a time and finally made it's way down to $9.99...time to buy.

Roger dean started as a Lincoln- Merc dealer in Athens Ohio before expanding to Chillicothe, Columbus and Lexington Ky. Not sure exactly when he got his Chevrolet franchise, but I do know why. His love for the Corvette. So long Ford...Hello Charleston, Huntington WV, and West Palm Beach...it's still going strong today.

Here is the frame along with some cool early shots:

Here's some shots of his Chevrolet Dealer in WV. This was actually post Dean, he sold the dealer to Tag Galyean in 1971. It, like the Linc-Merc dealers in Ohio, was WV's largest Chevrolet dealer. They were the highest volume Corvette dealer as well...not sure for how long.
