Who's red/white stripes running the Goodyear "billboards"? Beautiful, and how do you like them? Do they hurl projectiles constantly?

Nice pictures Juan....anymore?

Great photos, Juan!!!

I'm about to head out on the road for the rest of the week, and hopefully will get a chance to try posting some of our photos when I get back. I actually don't have as many car photos this year, as I tried to focus more on just "family snapshot" type pics this time.

Russ, I think the setup you're seeing in Butch's passenger seat is the child seat he has for his boys.

Juan, Fantastic shots! Thanks for all the shots with Lil Cobra in them and the one of my engine bay with the turkey pan and the ignition wires. Eric Miller has the red Cobra with the Goodyear billboards he explained the process he used to paint them. I almost was not able to make it!! Thank goodness we made it it was great! Also, to put faces with the names on the forum.

My car is at the finishing stages of completion. Since mine is a Turnkey Minus the Weavers sent the body to get painted and hopefully it will be painted soon within the next week or so???

I got to see the chassis even though bare with no suspension.

The car is due to be delivered within the next 4 weeks or so. As soon as I get the photos of my car after painting I will post those photos as well. Needless to say I am excited beyond the imagination. After Homecoming seeing all those cars I want mine now more than ever. In the mean time take a look at this beauty instead.

Great pictures, Juan. Since you covered everything so well, I won't post any of mine.
I did take two 15 second movies of the departure from the place we ate lunch after the drive. Nice sound effects! They are too big to post here but if anyone is interested, I will email them. You'll need Quick time or Windows Media player to view ( and hear) them.

Paul,

Juan,
Sounds great! I pick up my DP kit "roller" w/ engine trans This weekend at Carlisle. Those Headers look good. I don't think your engine will have trouble breathing.

Eric's Car is Awesome![}:)]That RED is beautiful!
Tires and wheels look great![8D]

Thanks for posting a pic of my car and all the comments.I carried my digital camera but didn't take any pics,too busy running my mouth.I wish that I could of have done the full event I know it was awesome, But my Father-in-law broke his hip on Thursday and he made me come down on Friday or else.He felt that he ruined my weekend with his daughter (my wife of 15 years) but that's not the case.He is coming home Thursday and doing fine.Cant wait till next YEAR!!!!!! Also thanks to all ya'll who I spoke with and the Weavers.

Clay,
I only have about 100 to 150 miles on the tires. Right now I'm starting to like them but it takes some getting used to .About 10 miles to get round , picks up junk on road some and follows road some but looks great ,sticks to road great and gives me a vintage feeling to the cars personality.So would I do it over ,sure!!

Thanks To All and
God Bless Ya'll,
Eric Miller

[ralphscott]

Jerry, love those road shots. Gayle and I enjoyed meeting Maragrita and talking with you both.

Eric, enjoyed our chat. Your car looks great, hope next year you can make the cruise. Super technique on painting those "Billboards".
