Jason, It was a fun Grand National with lots of great cars. Thanks for posting pictures of my Eldorado! 

The hard luck award is hanging in a place of honor in my garage.

Goes good with all that other cadmium bling!

Robert,

     I saw your car at the Grand National last month and it is beautiful!  It was nice meeting you in person at the meeting.

Nice meeting you too at the chapter meeting. I hope to see you next year in Murfreesboro. 

Thanks Rob.  Hope to make it.  Again, after all your hard work, it's a great car!

Pretty car. Great color!   It'll be worth all the hard work along the way.

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 13 Comments
