    Friday me and my favorite brother in law Lawrence left Kansas and headed East and North to Illinois for the Pileup show. We stopped to look at some cars for sale at a friends place that has sold some cool stuff to me in the past. I was lucky enough to buy 2 very cool roadsters from him and got them both loaded on a 18 foot car trailer. We will be at the Pileup on Saturday as spectators and will be home on Sunday. Stay tuned to this channel for more info when I get home. Here is what I bought. <center>

    The other one is a hack job that some farm kid cut up many years ago. This one runs great. I am changing the wheels when I get home. <center>

    They were stored inside this beautiful barn but were not "barn finds" since they were never lost or forgotten. <center>
