Thanks again to Bill...what a cool guy.

Ken, can you please submit your reservations for your stay at the Blythe place fairly quickly? Your cooperation is sincerely appreciated!

I'm sure that Bill can chime in on all the cool details that I missed regarding that guys shop.

Finally, all I have to say is that

. Holly (who will NOT be doing burnouts any time soon) agrees!

Let's see... The red/red Corvette sitting out front was a '64 roadster (top off) with stock '64 spinner wheelcovers and whitewall radials. New fuel-injected Chevy crate engine (ZZ-???), 700R4 trans, radio delete. Inside the shop was a '48 Ford sedan street rod (apart), a late '30s Chevy coupe rod (apart), new black ZO6 (DROOL), '66 Mustang fastback tubbed/lowered drag car, two '64 Falcon Sprint hardtops--one a track-only car (tubbed, etc.) under a cover, the other a 6-71 blown 351C hardtop tubbed, big meats inside the rear fenders. Last car was a '30-'31 Ford highboy pickup with a small-block. The owner was a heck of a nice guy too.

See! Bill remembered everything...unlike me.

And yes, the owner was really cool! We had a camera...but didn't think it was cool to take pics...yet! I found out that the owner goes to the 83rd and Union Hills cruise often...so I'll hook up with him there and see if he wouldn't mind if I come over again and take a few shots.

Oh, BTW, Bill got to cruise by the infamous 83rd and Union Hills, too (on the way to Applebee's)

Bill, you must really rate....you come to town and get the royal treatment; I'm coming to town tomorrow and Bruce is leaving town!!

Seriously, you are absolutely right, the Blythe family have got the good host thing down to a science

Excellent pictures - thanks for posting

Hi Bro,
Looked like a beautiful day for a cruise. Makes me home sick! (Phoenix looks much better than being on Long Island on a stormy afternoon). The car looks great. Black lines on the asphalt look good. Next time...lets see the car making those pavement trophies!

He's not THAT good of a host!!!!!

Plus, if he did that, Holly would probably beat me to the keys and be out practicing leaving her own marks on the pavement

Nice to see Gary checking in here, too....Gary, did you get your water pump fixed yet?

Leaving town was right!!

Here are some pics from the 'short' 1600 mile trip...

Here's Mammoth Mountain ski area...still has snow on it. They were open for skiing until the 4th of July

If you've never skied there...you're missing out.
