Whatcha doin there? Kinda dodgy....i think youre gonna drive'em one by one to the docks....
If you do make sure that the 'stang aint the last one....bad mojo.

 

A lot of judging goes on tonight, more of the house lights will be up,. I get ya' some better pics. Mike

 

Just got up for a few minutes,.. seen myself in the mirror, and realized if I didn't close my eyes again,... I just might bleed to death ! yep ! there still bloodshot,.... going back to bed. And yes, I did the last two posts in my PJ's ......... night all !

 

Hey Matt !,.. Looking forward to seeing you and your Dad at the "Circle of Champions" Brunch on Saturday !!

 

Did any of you that were there get a shot of the off topic Mercedes 500K that was supposedly customized or got an updated drivetrain? I had heard it may be at the show and I would love to see it. A friend in Michigan owned it and I am looking for a photo of it.

 

Thanks Dennis,
My arthritis keeps me from being able to walk very far, or stand very long, so I'm not able to see it down there in person. My friend, Dan, is showing it for me. I truly appreciate your photos. Being there after hours has to be the best time. Say hello to my best friend, Al Bergler, at Saturday's brunch......Thanks again, Mike Farris

 

I love the Hemifarris 59 El Camino

 

Thanks Dennis, I am sorry to miss this year. But I will be back soon.

was this sprayed with that spectrachome stuff?

 

Hand polished.

 

what..polished bare metal???

 

Yup, bare metal.

Impressive.

 

wow..can't imagine how long that took

 

Here is the proof.

 

Ok so Im stupid,can you tell me more about hand polishing bare metal ,and how do they seal it ??

 

Will be there sat/ for the first time, can't wait for this.

 

Hey Dennis.

Stop by on your way home in the am. Metz wants to meet you & I got a present for ya!

Larry

 

Thanks Paul. Chuck Miller put on a disolay this year called Cowboy Cadillacs, a group of El Caminos and Rancheros, and called me to show mine.My friend, Teddy Z recommended it to Chuck. Teddy is Bill Hine's nephew. Since I can't walk very well, one of my buddies took it down and is taking care of it. It's not entered in competition, just a favor to Chuck, as he does a specialty section each year at Autorama such as Roth cars, well known customs of the 50's and other cool displays........Thanks again and thanks for your kind pm's.
Mike

 

This is pretty cool. I've already seen several pictures of that bare metal shoebox and I love it!

Can't wait to see all the coverage threads pop up.

 

So sorry Larry,... When I got out of the "Circle of Champions Brunch",.. My pal Clyde and I had been up for 22 hours, I just got home, and got this message,.... The Transmission on my daily gave up the ghost down there, and My Son and Father in law came down with my truck & trailer to rescue me..... All in all I still had a really grate time.....

 

I was there today, i spent some time looking at your car, it is real nice.

 

Not to hijack...especially with OT car, but....polishing baresteel to chrome-like finish is possible.
My buddy had HOURS and HOURS polishing this bug.

Back to Detroit coverage. Thanks for the pics for us that couldnt make it.

 

Glad to see you made it home safe!!! Had a great time at the brunch and looking at all the cars!!! Your pictures turned out great!!!!

Matt
