    Looks like it's almost time for the much anticipated Detroit Autorama. From the looks of things already, it's going to be a not to be missed event once again. There are 40 20X20 displays scheduled to be there (the most ever) with approx 25 of these being Ridler contender hopefulls. These are fresh built cars, never seen in public or published before now. Of course they all won't be HAMB material but they are exciting to see none the less.

    It's turning out to be a huge gathering of HAMB and RRT folks and I'm getting really excited to see everyone. So after reviewing all the emails and PM's on who was coming when, I kind of figured that a early afternoon as well as an early evening Meet & Greet each day was kind of necessary for everyone to meet everyone. This is just a suggestion, so if it doesn't suit someone, please speak up and we can modify the times.

    Thursday.....2pm and 6pm
    Friday.........2pm and 6pm
    Sat............2pm and 6pm

    And so far no one seems to be going on Sunday that isn't going one of the other days as well.

    Race is setting up a "lounge" area right next to VooDoo Child which will be located right as you walk in the front doors (I'll post an EXACT location in refrence to the front door on Wed nite) so that's probley a good place to meet up, or even just to stop by at any time to say "hi" and put your feet up.

    In the past there has been a group of us that have gone to Lafayette Coney Island (2 blocks away) for lunch on Friday. Meet by VooDoo Child at 1pm if you want to head to lunch with us, we'll be back by 2pm for the Meet and Greet. Cobo Joes across the street is scheduled for dinner on Friday around 7pm or so and Niki's in Greektown on Saturday nite. We usually take the people mover there and the resturant is large enough that there normally isn't a wait, even on a Sat nite. For those from out of town, there is a casino in Greektown for your gambling pleasure.

    With all that being said...... who's going and on what day?? [​IMG]

    As it looks now, the three stooges (me, Chris50 and the elusive Mojo66) will be driving up on Friday night.
    We will be refreshed and ready for the show Saturday... unless we stayout at the strip club too late...

    I will be doing the Hot Rod and Restoration trade show in Indy on Friday... don't be surprised if I am wiped out when you see me on Saturday! [​IMG]

    ...speaking of Ridler cars... don't forget to check out The Million Dollar Willys Actually its supposed to have over $650,000 in it. It was finished by a local guy in Plainfield, Il. I grew up a block from the guy who owns it.
    Look for the red 39 Willys (with 40 front clip) in the $70,000 exotic wood display with the ostrich interior ($18,000 in dead birds alone)... and try and figure out where the other $500,000 went...

    (look at the build up book... lots of really, really neat non-traditional stuff went into it.)

    I just got back, one word WOW! I took a few teaser photos that I'll post alittle later tonight, baking cookies at the moment. Dirty, if it were Big Olds that I was driving I'd park him on the roof and not worry one minute. Cobo roof parking is only $4, cheapest in the city and there lots-o-room. Roof parking closes at midnite.

    If I remember correctly they started turning off lites around 11pm on Thursday nite.

    If you walk in the main doors, VooDoo Child is 5 asles to the right and three cars back, you can't miss him.

    Weather forecast for Detroit this weekend is low 50's, so those that are coming from the frigid north can leave their longjohns, mittens and wool hats at home. [​IMG]

    Just so everyone knows, the Cheese and his roommate (and perhaps the old Car Club Prez and his dad) will be at Cobo sometime around two (perhaps earlier). I'll definitely haunt Voodoo Child for a bit looking out for people.
