Hey, man whats up. The Bombers always have a few shows during the summer. You will have to post some pics of your 55 Poncho sometime. There are a few of us youngins in the area. The older guys are the one's you learn from though. The Hunnert car pileup is the can't miss show around here. It's up North a couple hundred miles and is in OCT. Good luck on your build. o yea since you asked I have a 53 Dodge.
