  6. I saw Bob's convert a couple years ago at the event in Hiawassee, Georgia. Didn't get to talk to the new caretaker.

    This is great to see, and somehow even better with a few paint blisters and a big touched-up chip in the hood. This car has earned a few scars.

  15. Glad to see it in good hands and getting used. We are all just caretakers of our cars. 5 of mine were owned good friends of mine. I have promised to keep them and use them to the best of my ability.

    It's always good to see that Bob's car still gets to go out and play.

    Bob K's Chevy is still alive and well. Was great to finally see this legend of a car today, and meet Jeff who I could tell is honored to show it in Bob's memory. At Run to the Sun - Myrtle Beach.

    First time I saw that car was at an Indy Goodguys event. It had a paper plate for a front hubcap. Bob was always the innovator, he had lost the hubcap on his way to the event.

    Car looks great.

    I miss Bob.
     
  27. Bob was great! I met him at GNRS and instant friends…

    Bob's gonna come back and haunt you, I helped him clean his car at the Roundup and I said something about his hubcap, he said that's a wheel cover son not a hubcap so needless to every chance I got I'd call them hubcaps to get a rise out him. Miss him alot.
