We, or at least me, hope to make the Gibb show. Kind of hinges on when our newest grandchild decides to make his entrance into this world. Seems the wife thinks this is more important then car shows.

I would also ask for additional personal, including EMT, or paramedic level individuals should Mr. Howie's car have unloading issues, and unload itself. (again)
Best wishes to you, and yours, and we'll be seeing you soon.
Sincerly, Mayor Schoenthaler

What? A self unloading car?

You guys sure do pick on Howie a lot..............


Kim, do you suppose you could do one of your burnouts for us at the Gibb show? One in the grass would be fine anyway since we still won't be able to see the black rubber tracks........

I hope your not talking about the 1st. reunion when I did a unintended burn out in the grass. Just put the motor in the Nova & trottle stuck open!! Chased a gal with a baby stroller in the grass. All most the first & last reunion. Wow bad deal. Burford was riding with me he was impressed.

I don't know about "self-unloading" but I do recall pretty close to "self-LOADING" on the icy hill. Remember, Kim?

Oh yeah, also found the floor pan to cowl ext panels for that car. I'll bring 'em to LaHarpe if I can remember.

You know, when I recall all the 'loading/unloading' stories involving Mr. Howie, I can't help but think that maybe, if only for the future preservation of his historic vehicles, we should all offer to do those tasks FOR him. Just give the poor guy a cold beer, point him to the closest shade tree, and we'll take care of the cars!
I mean; what's next? Loading it in the wrong trailer????????

Dave, The loading of the Z-28 didn't bother me half as bad as siding down your hill. I had the brakes locked on the truck & the trailer brake locked & slid all the way to the bottom. That was scary.
